Many children with Asperger’s syndrome a typical form of motor stereotypes developed in the first year of life. Motor stereotypes - this is a recurring movement of one or more parts of the body. It may look like a tic, and sometimes impossible to distinguish it from the tick.

Teak is a (usually involuntary) forced, spasmodic, rhythmic contractions usually muscle or muscle groups that are only partly under volitional control.

The most common stereotypes that occur in very young children with Asperger’s syndrome - a swinging or rotation of the arm, waving with both hands. There are many cases where children with this syndrome are diagnosed late in the hand of a nickname! One of the hands can stand with outstretched fingers close to the face of the child, in front of one eye. The hand can move back and forth, and children can look through your fingers, as if their attention is attracted by the light effect.

The most common variants of motor stereotypes found in Asperger’s syndrome are the following: symmetric beating with both hands or elbows bend at the maximum, light strokes with your fingers (one or both hands), rocking the body, shaking his head and clapping or rotation of different types. Stereotyped rigidity ("freezing") the whole body or parts thereof, and walking on tiptoes high at an accelerated pace are too repetitive behaviors when excited or overstimulated.

Some stereotyped behaviors develop into a mutilation injury by blows to the face, eyes, hands and biting, etc. If you frequent a reduced sensitivity to pain in many people with Asperger’s symptoms are currently causing injury becomes chronic.

Some people with Asperger’s syndrome appear stereotypical movements in the first years of life, others have seen this type of behavior is rarely under the age of 4 years. Then, within 1-3 years revealed moderate degree of severity of stereotyped behavior, and later the severity of this type of behavior is reduced. The average intensity of stereotyped behavior (pulling fingers, tapping your hands and fingers) may remain, but they can not be observed in people with Asperger’s syndrome, if they are aware that such conduct does not meet the standard.

There is also a group of people with Asperger’s syndrome, who lack a clearly defined period of motor stereotypic behavior, but usually shows up a lot of other stereotyped activities. People with high levels of intelligence can detect complex motor stereotypes, although they are not targeted.

Some people with Asperger’s symptoms have different verbal stereotypes. They can often repeat certain sounds, words, or endlessly stereotyped ask the same question.

Many autistic people live, adhering to a strict routine and unchanging rituals. They can be 10 times and out of the bathroom before you go into it in order to perform routine procedures, or, for example, in the morning several times circling around before agree to dress, to require the mother to mix a small amount of oil in a frying pan every morning before initiation of regular breakfast cereal with milk.

They can not go to bed at night the bedroom on the second floor as long as mom, dad and two brothers do not stand in the window of the first floor living room, or need to leave the house through a window and not through the front door.

A few years later may appear stereotypical types of interests, which is most clearly seen in autistic kids, but also occurs in other ASD. The simplest of these interests can be detected in collecting things, parts of objects (pieces of plastic, rubber bands, sticks, greasy paper, items that can twirl, etc.) or the names and basic facts to memorize and drawing up the list. More complex interest in children with Asperger’s syndrome up to 4-5 years was observed.

Separate visual and auditory features of objects are in one way or another to fascinate children with Asperger’s syndrome. Things that shine or emit any sound can be selected by a child or an adult for visual or auditory stimulation. For example, waving a spoon made of stainless steel for a long time can keep the motor and visual stimulation.

We advise you to feed your children with special food supplements, like krill oil, vitamins, fish oil, etc. It will lower the risk of developing of  Asperger’s.
