Episode 232 - Perseveration

When one of our listeners wrote in to ask about an episode on perseveration, we realized that we'd never directly discussed one of the original markers described in diagnosing Asperger's syndrome. And boy were we shocked and mildly appalled at what we found! This week, we reflect on exactly what perseverative behavior really is, whether it should be categorized as a problem behavior at all, and if previous treatment research has missed the point.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
