Diagnosis information
Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Repetitive, seemingly driven, and apparently purposeless motor behaviour (e.g. hand shaking/waving, body rocking, head banging, self-biting, hitting own body)
Core criterion B
Interferes with social, academic, or other activities and may result in self-injury
Core criterion C
Onset in the early developmental period
Core criterion D
Not attributable to physiological effects of a substance or another medical condition; not better explained by another neurodevelopmental or mental disorder
Consistent with [Stereotypic Movement Disorder] [specifier(s)]. Since early development, there have been repetitive, seemingly driven, and purposeless motor behaviours including hand shaking or flapping; body rocking; head banging; self-biting; hitting; skin picking; other repetitive, non-functional movements, forming a persistent pattern of stereotyped motor activity. The presentation is further characterised by behaviours that interfere with normal activities or result in self-inflicted injury, with a developmental onset and a stable, non-episodic course, outside of culturally sanctioned practices. These behaviours have resulted in clinically significant impairment in social, academic, occupational, or other important areas of functioning, and the pattern is not better explained by ASD, tic disorders, trichotillomania, OCD, substance or medication effects, or another neurological or medical condition.
