Comorbid symptoms examined using the Autism Spectrum Disorders-Comorbidity for Children (ASD-C-C) included tantrum behavior, repetitive behavior, worry/depression, avoidant behavior, under-eating, conduct problems, and over-eating.
The factors were composed of items consistent with Tantrum Behavior, Repetitive Behavior, Worry/Depressed, Avoidant Behavior, Under-Eating, Over-Eating, and Conduct.
Other applied experimental paradigms, conducted over a one-week time period, allow for observation of behavioral approach or avoidant behavior, and permit assessment of insight and goal reorganization.
Such avoidant behavior, Dr. Jackson noted, is among the most debilitating of PTSD symptoms.
This was a pretty extreme case of avoidant behavior!
Factor analysis resulted in two scales measuring active coping and avoidant behaviour.
Look for avoidant behavior.
Both cases may involve crying, covering ears, panicked stimming, and avoidant behavior.
After documenting the key role that empathy played in decisions of avoidant participants, the researchers conducted a second study to see if they could remove the experience of emotional investment and thus create a situation where avoidantly attached people responded the same as other participants in a situation that might involve empathy.
Monotonous routines can keep us stuck in reactive or avoidant patterns of behavior.
