By understanding the different types of repetitive behaviors, parents and caregivers can better support children with ASD in their unique developmental journeys. For example, intentional repetitive behaviors can be distinguished from stimming or sensory-seeking behavior by the child's level of focus and engagement. While stimming or sensory-seeking behaviors can be calming and provide a sense of comfort, intentional repetitive behaviors are often characterized by a high level of concentration and purposeful repetition. Intentional Repetitive behaviors are often accompanied by a sense of accomplishment or satisfaction as the child improves their skills. Michael continues to be intrigued by the mechanics of how things operate and has a strong inclination towards moving independently within his surroundings. As such, he engages in certain repetitive behaviors to practice and refine these areas of high interest. By reframing my perspective of these repetitive behaviors, I guide and leverage my son’s motivation for them towards his growth and development. 📌Michael's Intentional Repetitive Behaviors also revolve around doors, gates, elevators, stairs and seat belts. By finding ways to interact and engage during these moments, I've found they can transform behaviors that might be seen as directionless into something functional and intentional. 👉🏻How do you support these behaviors? Are they typically solitary activities, or do you join in and interact? If you do turn it into a joint activity, share what your interaction looks like! #heartwarming #parenting #autism #ASL #signlanguage #nonspeaking #nonverbal #inspiration #motivate #autismawareness #autismjourney #neurodivergent #parentingtips #representationmatters #cute #handsome #toddlermom #autismadvocate #autismparenting #parentingautism #communication
