Restricted repetitive behavior has been a defining feature of the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) since the original description of autism (Kanner, 1943), and by diagnostic convention, all individuals with ASD display some form of these “restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities” (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders-Forth Edition [DSM-IV], American Psychiatric, [APA], 1994:71). Although ASD is associated with a wide range of specific forms of atypical repetition, this issue received far less research attention than social and communication deficits. Indeed, it was not our original attention to examine the prosody of ASD high functioning (ASD-HF) children from the perspective of the presence or the absence of repetitive behavior, we were concentrating on “prosody” within the context of linguistic behavior whether or not the manifestation of the “different” prosody by ASD-HF individuals may reflect “delays and deficits in language and communication”, which is another core feature of ASD. However, the data we collected in our research brought this issue into focus and raised new questions regarding the centrality of the restricted repetitive behaviors in ASD. This chapter is based on results and insights from linguistic research. This research (Green, 2010) comparing and contrasting the prosodic features of 20 peer-matched 9-13 year old male Israeli Hebrew-speaking participants (10 ASD-HF subjects and 10 controls without developmental disorders (WDD) strongly indicated that the prosodic features that were examined exhibited a limited and repetitive repertoire in the ASD-HF population compared with the prosodic features of the WDD control population (Green, 2005; Green & Tobin 2008a, b, 2009 a, b, c; Green, 2010). Furthermore, this significant limited repetitive repertoire of behavior patterns was also exhibited in the extra-linguistic and the linguistic (lexical) domains of the ASD-HF participants.
