  The Routines and Rituals of Families of Typically Developing Children Compared with Families of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Exploratory Study. Rodger and Umaibalan. The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, January 2011; vol. 74, 1: pp. 20-26.
  
  
  Routines play a significant role in everyone's lives but especially to individuals who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Past research has shown that the pervasive nature of ASD influences the development of functional routines and meaningful rituals. This study compares the routines and rituals of families with typically developing children and families with children with ASD. The findings revealed higher mean scores across all variables for the typically developing group compared with the ASD group however most of the results were not significant. The only significant difference found indicated that families with children who have ASD organize and go on fewer vacations than families with typically developing children.
