• Developmental deficits in social perception in autism: the role of the amygdala and fusiform face area (2005, background): “The repetitive behaviors, sensory sensitivities and restricted interests are also clearly non-specific features, as they are shared by many mental retardation syndromes (Bodfish et al., 2000).”
• Autism, intense interests and support in school: from wasted efforts to shared understandings (2019, background): “Moreover, this model also creates opportunities to revaluate weak central coherence theory - a posited difficulty in understanding the general meaning of information rather than focusing on individual details (Briskman, Frith and Happé 2001) – as well as the disparaging notion of “repetitive behavio”
• Sociability and preference for social novelty in five inbred strains: an approach to assess autistic‐like behavior in mice (2004, background): “For example, some autistic patients demonstrate aberrant motor responses, including repeated hand flapping, jumping and other repetitive and stereotyped behaviors (Bodfish et al. 2000; Tager-Flusberg et al. 2001).”
• Is There a Relationship between Restricted, Repetitive, Stereotyped Behaviors and Interests and Abnormal Sensory Response in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders?. (2008, background): “RB features in individuals with ASD vary in their occurrence, frequency, and severity (Bodfish et al., 2000).”
• The Relationship of Challenging Behaviors to Severity and Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (2008, neutral): “A similar pattern has been found for adults with ID in that adults with both ASD and ID exhibited more severe self-injurious and stereotypical behaviors than adults with ID only ( Bodfish, Symons, Parker, & Lewis, 2000 ).”
