Clinical stance on response initiation in autistic adults: co-creating an integrative approach based on theory and lived experiences to act from language, via motor movement to wellbeing by Kirstin Greaves-Lord, Kirstin Greaves-Lord, Manna Alma, Benjamin de Graaff, Benjamin de Graaff, Jeanet Landsman, Klaske van der Weide, Gabrine Jagersma, Theo Beskers, Marieke Wubs, Henri Mandemaker, Emma van Daalen, Joost van der Linde, Anne Fleur Stapert, Jeroen Bekius, Sigrid Piening, Sigrid Piening, Annemiek Landlust, Annemiek Landlust, Ingrid D. C. van Balkom, Ingrid D. C. van Balkom

“…Over time, in interaction with all participants, our shared insight grew. Based on this, we here stipulate a conceptual framework, in which the described ‘stuck state’ at the micro-level of the muscles/behavior of one individual, probably is caused by feeling/being ‘stuck’ or ‘cramped’ at several overarching (i.e., meso and macro) levels. …”
