"A stereotypy (/\u02C8st\u025Bri\u02D0.\u0275ta\u026Api/, \"STAIR-ee-oh-TEYE-pee\") is a repetitive or ritualistic movement, posture, or utterance. Stereotypies may be simple movements such as body rocking, or complex, such as self-caressing, crossing and uncrossing of legs, and marching in place. They are found in people with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, tardive dyskinesia and stereotypic movement disorder; studies have shown stereotypies associated with some types of schizophrenia."@en . . .
