A member asked:
Can a child have autism if they don't express repetitive movements?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The repetitive movements are only one possible sign. Their absence in the presence of other signs, does not exclude the diagnosis.

Yes: Repetitive or stereotyped movements are frequently seen in autism, but it is possible for a child to be autistic without such movements.
