This study was designed to test whether there is a functional relationship between sensory stimulation and stereotyped movements (SM). Four children with autism and intellectual disability (according to DSM-IV criteria) who showed stereotyped movements were studied. The Short Sensory Profile was used to define whether a child perceived stimulation within each sensory modality as aversive, attractive, or neutral. The Stereotyped and Self-Injurious Movements Interview was used to identify each child's repetitive movements. Children were then exposed to sensory stimuli that were neutral, aversive or attractive. Results indicate that children: (a) initiate or increase stereotyped movements immediately following the onset of an aversive stimulus, (b) terminate or decrease stereotyped movements following the onset of an attractive stimulus and (c) initiate or increase stereotyped movements during periods of neutral stimulation. We conclude that stereotyped movements are functionally related to sensory stimulation; individuals who frequently engage in stereotyped movements may do so in order to cope with under-stimulation and aversive over-stimulation

A decade ago the author's son first took a dislike to milk, and then to virtually every other substance she attempted to feed him. Her book was written to reassure other parents that there are lots of people out there in the same boat, and to suggest practical methods of dealing with the problem.

Autisme is een pervasieve ontwikkelingsstoornis die het leven van mensen met een dergelijke aandoening (al dan niet samengaand met een verstandelijke handicap) aanzienlijk nadelig kan bepalen. Kinderen en jongeren met autisme laten vaak problemen zien op het gebied van de sociaal-communicatieve ontwikkeling en zelfredzaamheid. Ook komen gedragsproblemen relatief vaak bij hen voor. Door de aandacht in de media en het surfen op het internet, zijn ouders tegenwoordig meer dan voorheen bekend met de kenmerken van autisme en de gevolgen ervan voor opvoeding en begeleiding. De hulpvraag van ouders aan professionals is hierdoor de laatste jaren veranderd. Ouders stellen gerichte vragen en zijn kritisch ten aanzien van de levering van diensten en de resultaten ervan. Daarom is het nu meer dan ooit belangrijk om als professional op de hoogte te zijn van de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wetenschap en klinische praktijk. Dit boek is hiervoor uitermate geschikt. In de eerste hoofdstukken wordt ingegaan op de ontwikkelingen binnen de genetica en taakgerelateerde hersenactiviteit van kinderen en jongeren met autisme. Voorts komen de mogelijkheden van (vroegtijdige) diagnostiek van autisme aan bod. Vervolgens worden verschillende behandelmethoden voor specifieke problemen beschreven, waarbij tevens aandacht wordt besteed aan onderzoek naar de effectiviteit van deze methoden.
