Repetitive behaviors
Odd, repetitive motions can set autistic children off from other children.
These behaviors can be extreme or subtle. Some children might flap their arms or walk on their toes, suddenly freeze in position.
Repetitive
behavior can take the form of a persistent, intense
preoccupation. A child can become obsessed in learning about a certain
thing,
like a vacuum cleaner or train schedule, some might become
extremely involved in numbers, symbols or science topics.
