Detailed explanation-1: -Some examples of stereotypic behavior in typical adults include tapping feet, nail biting, smoking, organizing, playing sports, and watching TV. Alternatively, stereotypies in typical infants and toddlers often resemble behaviors seen in individuals with autism across the lifespan (Smith & Van Houten, 1996).
Detailed explanation-2: -Stereotypies are repetitive movements or sounds. These might include simple movements such as body-rocking, head-nodding, and finger-tapping, or more complex movements, such as arm and hand-flapping, waving or pacing.
Detailed explanation-3: -One study found that toys marketed to girls were associated with stereotypically feminine traits: physical attractiveness, nurturance, and domestic skills. Toys marketed to boys were associated with stereotypically masculine traits like violence, competition, excitement, and danger.
Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of stereotyped behaviors include pacing, rocking, swimming in circles, excessive sleeping, self-mutilation (including feather picking and excessive grooming), and mouthing cage bars.
