“…The results of this study suggest that a verbal reprimand may be effective for decreasing rumination in some individuals with autism. Although reprimands have been used to decrease other problem behaviors such as eye poking (McKenzie, Smith, Simmons, & Soderlund, 2008), food stealing (Maglieri, DeLeon, Rodriguez-Catter, & Sevin, 2000), and breath holding (Richman, Lindauer, Crosland, McKerchar, & Morse, 2001), they have not been used to address rumination. Reprimands may be more advantageous than other interventions for rumination in that they require relatively little preparation, planning, and effort on the part of staff members and are always available.…”

After a pre-treatment screening analysis suggested that rumination exhibited by a boy with autism occurred in the absence of social consequences, we evaluated the effect of a verbal reprimand contingent on the target behavior via a reversal design. The reprimand reduced rumination to near-zero levels; we then thinned the reprimand schedule and rumination remained infrequent. Follow-up data collected 6, 12, and 18 months after initial treatment suggested that intervention effects were maintained. Copyright

Hypothalamic obesity in humans: what do we know and what can be done?

et al. 2002

Obesity is a common sequel to tumours of the hypothalamic region and their treatment with surgery and radiotherapy. The prevalence of hypothalamic obesity has been underestimated because it may take some years to develop, and the problem has been under-recognized by physicians. Weight gain results from damage to the ventromedial hypothalamus which leads, variously, to hyperphagia, a low metabolic rate, autonomic imbalance, growth hormone (GH) deficiency and various other problems that contribute to weight gain. However, with the exception of GH replacement, few clinical trials have evaluated significant numbers of patients and so the roles of various behavioural, dietary, pharmacological and obesity surgery approaches are controversial. Sufficient knowledge exists to identify those at high risk of hypothalamic obesity so that weight gain prevention approaches can be offered. In those who are already obese, we propose that the principal causal mechanisms in individual patients should be considered as a basis for guiding clinical management.

“…Cammilleri, Tiger & Hanley, 2008;Heald, Allen, Villa & Oliver, 2013;Kuhn, Chirighin & Zelenka, 2010). In addition, distinctive cues have been paired with current or upcoming aversive stimuli (a verbal reprimand, the removal of a preferred item/activity) so that eventually challenging behaviour is reduced in the presence of the cue alone (Maglieri et al, 2000).…”
