Abstract

Objective To explore the developmental trajectory of restricted and repetitive behavior (RRB) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to determine whether there is a correlation between RRB and sensory gating, so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods From August 2018 to May 2021, 89 children with ASD and 76 children with global developmental delay (GDD) in Children's Rehabilitation Department of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected into this study. RRB was assessment by the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R), and cerebral sensory gating was evaluated by the sensory gating P50 ratio, and the correlation was analyzed. Results There was no significant correlation of the total scores, low-level and high-level of RRB with sensory gating in ASD children and GDD children (P>0.05). There was no significant decrease with age in the total scores, low-level and high-level of RRB in ASD children (P>0.05). However, RRB score was negatively related to the age of children with GDD (r=-0.43 to -0.23, P<0.01). Conclusions The developmental trajectory of RRB in ASD children is not a simple negative linear curve with age. There is no significant correlation between RRB and sensory gating. P50 may not be an effective index to predict repetitive and stereotyped behaviors.
