Coping Program for the Autism’S Cognitive Stereotype Behavior -- the Strategies of Schema Reconstructing

Stereotype behavior is one of the maladaptive syndromes of the individuals with autism and these always interrupt them from learning, work, personal interaction, adaptive life, and so on. Most of the previous studies focused on stimulating stereotype behaviors, while less on cognitive stereotype behaviors. This study explored the cognitive stereotype behaviors and found out that they could be categorized into 4 domains 26 types and imprinting was happened in the formatting process. This further research is anticipated to develop a constructivism coping program through evidence-based experiments. A R-C-Re program is to be modeled through three years. The first year is to recruit 400 specialists on guidance related service, and individuals with autism or their family through a questionnaire developed by the researchers. It intends to find the stereotype elements and characteristics correlation among the various stereotype behaviors. The second and the third years will conduct individualized curriculum experiments with 56 participants with autism who are with severe cognitive stereotype behavior. This research will develop a concrete effective program, ‘the Principle of Coping with Cognitive Stereotype Behavior’, in the end for individuals with autism.
