[Inflexibility in autism spectrum disorder].

Abstract

In this paper we have tried to give an overview of the way in which inflexibility manifests itself in people with ASD, the physiological and psychological factors that can trigger it, as well as the main reasons behind those behaviours that fall under the term inflexibility. We have also provided some guidelines on intervention with the aim of helping to reconsider and guide the approach to this type of behaviour, always based on respect and understanding.
