Restricted Repetitive Behaviors in Autism Spectrum and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
Abstract
The prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders has been on the increase in the United States and the world as a whole. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OSD) are examples of such neurodevelopmental disorders. ASD and OCD are similar in that they share some of their common characteristics. Restricted Repetitive Behaviors (RRBs) refer to a broad category of behaviors observed across many neurodevelopmental disorders. These behaviors fall into various categories. Some of these categories include sensory-motor movements, rituals, and stereotypic constrained interests. In other words, RRBs refer to the responses whose main characteristics include recurrence and inflexibility in their normal routine. In line with RRBs in ASD and OCD, this paper intends to review the article “Similarities and differences between children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and those with obsessive-compulsive disorder: executive functioning and repetitive behavior.” The main purpose of the article is to examine the differences between the Repetitive Behaviors in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and their implications on the treatment of the conditions.
