title = "Nosology and Theories of Repetitive and Restricted Behaviours and Interests",
abstract = "Repetitive and restrictive behaviours and interests (RRBI) are defining core features of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), described in Kanner{\textquoteright}s original paper (1943). They are also one of three behavioural domains – the other being deficits in social interaction and deficits in communication required for the current diagnosis of autism (ICD-10, World Health Organization, 1990; DSM-IV, American Psychiatric Association, 1994). These behaviours often look bizarre, grotesque and inappropriate to others and interfere with everyday functions. Accordingly they are of specific concern for parents and clinicians who live and work with people with ASD.",
