Restrictive Behavior

What is Restrictive behavior?

Restrictive behavior is a form of behavior characterized by an abnormal limitation to a few interests and activities. Children may engage in repetitive motor movements or speech and may continually employ the same routine.

Symptoms may affect multiple parts of the body. Understanding which part of the body a symptom affects, can help us to better understand the potential underlying causes of a symptom, including a rare disease or genetic syndrome.

Developmental symptoms may affect different parts of an individual’s development. These include their emotional and social development, their physical development, as well as their cognitive and communication skills.

Developmental milestones help to track a child’s developmental progress and flag a delay. A delay may be isolated or accompanied by other developmental delays either in the same area and/or in other areas too.

Symptoms relating to development may be many and wide ranging. They can include a walking delay, issues with speech and language including late talking, trouble socialising with others or with showing emotion.

What should I do next?

In some instances, restrictive behavior may be one of the features of a rare disease or genetic syndrome. To find out if someone with Restrictive Behavior, may be due to a genetic syndrome, it is important to have a consultation and evaluation with a clinical genetic specialist. Specialists may also suggest specific genetic testing or other types of tests to help reach a diagnosis. FDNA’s AI technology can help speed up the diagnostic process by analyzing facial features and other health information.

Signs & Symptoms

Hyperkinetic Movements

Hyperkinetic movements are repetitive, abnormal and involuntary movements of the body. These motions are identified as common neural disturbances in children and can potentially lead to movement disorders. The distribution and severity of these repeated movements may shift over time.

Rieger Anomaly

Reiger anomaly is an ocular defect characterized by serious deformity in the anterior chamber of the eye with noticeable strands and shrinking of the iris stroma. This congenital malformation of the anterior segment is identified by iridocorneal malformation, glaucoma, iris stromal hypoplasia, posterior embryotoxon, and corneal opacities.
