Wolff, Jason J.; Hupp, Susan C.; Symons, Frank J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
Treatment options for maladaptive repetitive behaviors associated with autism are limited. This is particularly so for ritual and compulsive forms of repetitive behavior, which commonly interfere with adaptive activities and may cause distress to individuals with autism and their families. The present study assessed an avoidance extinction…
