Abstract
Motor stereotypies (MS) are repetitive, rhythmic actions varying in complexity and presentation. Parents and teachers often notice these movements in children at home or in the classroom, prompting clinical attention. Concerns typically arise regarding the potential adverse consequences of these movements on the child, their impact on others, and whether they signal chronic neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This Clinical Perspective emphasizes MS as a common, transdiagnostic phenotype. It is crucial for clinicians and families to understand their characteristics, typical course, and potential co-occurring conditions, and that MS do not always signify a neurodevelopmental disorder nor always require intervention.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families.
We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings.
In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health.
At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
