Résumé |
Introduction |
Autism is a lifelong disability that impairs 3 main areas; communication skills, social interaction and behavioral patterns.
Objectives |
To investigate the repetitive behavior in autistic children 3–10 years old.
Aims |
Comparison of repetitive behavior between autistic children with a control group of clinically healthy children matched for age and sex.
Methods |
Repetitive Behavior Scale (RBS-R) questionnaire was translated, validated and provided to examine children (n=70) in each group.
Results |
Children with autism show significant behavioral problems as compared to healthy children in all subscales and the full RBS-R. Results of the t-test for independent samples indicated a significant difference in mean score for the children with autism of age 3–6 year old (M=53.1) and for control group (M=11.9), t=−13.3, P<0.01. Also, the mean score of children with autism of age 7–10 year old (M=54.9) is significantly higher, compared to control group (M=13.7), t=−12.2, P<0.01.
Conclusion |
This comparison provides information on particular forms of repetitive behavior to further our understanding on these important symptoms.
