Children with autism often tend to repeat certain behaviors. Some common behaviors include jumping up and down, stacking objects on top of one another, or making a certain sound repeatedly. Quite often, the children will repeat a hand-wave or other motion when they find it to be pleasurable. Immersed in their actions and patterns of behavior, individuals with autism can find it very difficult to deal with any changes to their daily routine and surroundings.
