Repetitive behaviours and stereotypie

Repetitive behaviours and stereotypies

Most with PTHS studied show repeated movements eg flapping, twisting body movements or flicking hands or fingers. This can be seen in the way they hold objects like toys eg turning over in the hand and being fascinated by certain objects. These repeated behaviours may become stronger when they are anxious or when they are not able to get away from situations like a room with loud music.
