Rice, Robert H. (2014). "The Repetitive Behavior Spectrum in Autism and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: From Helpful to Harmful."

https://fisherpub.sjfc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1025&context=nursing_facpub

I found this to be clear and helpful, perhaps others will. YMMV.

:)

The "Tables" especially.

Everyone is "different". And people are more able to be flexible when they are in places where they are accepted without questioning or labeling.

Therapy and treatment does nothing to restore justice, it is only intended to convert Angry Slaves into Happy Slaves.

Autism-Aspergers is just a concept invented to legitimate the abuse of children and adults. Neuro-Diversity is just a way of pleading for pity. Everytime we endorse these concepts, we are further maginalizing ourselves, and encouraging child abuse. Autism-Asperger's could never even exist without Nazi Social Darwinism and Eugenics. So I no longer talk about these, I talk about lived experience, often the experience of being othered and then persecuted. I call this experience of having intelligence, insight, intuition, and mystical abilities, the Shamanic Experience. And those of us who live it need to start banding together and protecting ourselves, each other, and the children of today. Beautiful Planet, just a rotten economic and political system.

Good paper. Someone found out in a scientific way what some autistic persons already know: that the "repetitive behaviors" can be pleasure, not signs of distress.
I hope someone confirms these findings!

I know that my repetitive behavior, especially fidgeting makes me feel a lot better.
