Abstract: This opinion answers the question “Do Stereotypic Behaviors in Autism Warrant Intervention?†This author recently had an article published that examined the effects of a particular intervention on stereotypic behaviors in individuals with autism. Immediately after publication, this author was asked if stereotypic behaviors were detrimental enough to warrant intervention. Based on my published research and the research of others, my response is an emphatic “yes.†This opinion outlines the detrimental effects of stereotypic behaviors in individuals with autism. This opinion explores the research past and present. Finally, this opinion discusses areas in which more research is needed.
