Could it be that apparent repetitive, radom and seemingly choatic movements of hands, face and body exhibited by autistic persons actually contain encoded informion.
Just maybe, what we are observing is a rudimentary effort by autistic persons to rebuild their communication skills. Quite possibly, their motor activity is a complimentary componet of brain activity both intended to mirror surroundings and establish a meaningful relationship.
If motor activity is actually part of a process designed to communicate, we ought to be careful how we respond to and or manipulate the actions of autistic persons.
From a theraputic view, therapist might consider given the autistic person an extra measure of empathy before initiating a suppresive stratgey designed to terminate what is widely believed to be meaningless body movements.
Figuratively, slapping a person trying to talk with you is wrong.
