Stereotyped movement recognition in children with ASD.

Highlights: [•] The observation of behavior patterns (e.g. stereotypes) depends on the observer. [•] Automatic detection of hand flapping movements with the EZ430-CHRONOS-433 clock (with accelerometers sensors). [•] Pattern recognition algorithm using statistical methods. [•] Valuable tool to monitor stereotypes in order to understand and to cope with children with ASD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
