Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by the DSM-5 definition by two major developmental deficits: (a) impairments of social-emotional reciprocity, deficits in non-verbal social communication and deficits in reciprocal relationship and (b) restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests or activities (RRBI). This book addresses the second diagnostic criterion- RRBI. It starts by describing developmental and neurobiological aspects of RRBI, moves on to relations with other ASD characteristics and participation in everyday life, all the way to assessment and intervention which addresses RRBI along the life span.
