Autism Spectrum Disorder (hereinafter ASD) is characterized by the presence of persistent deficits in social communication and interaction and of restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior. The new DSM-5 pays special attention to the level of severity. Therefore, there is a need for the use of diagnostic assessment tools that measure the severity of symptoms. The presence of repetitive behaviors in part determines the person with ASD’s adaptation. Two variables that often also are related to disorder severity are the presence of a psychiatric familiar history and the prescription of psychopharmacological treatments commonly directed at the aggressiveness problems. However, has been little studied the relationship between these two variables and repetitive behaviors. As a result, this article aims to analyse the relationship between the different types of repetitive behaviors of persons with ASD in the presence of family psychiatric history and pharmacological treatment. Method: The study included 233 subjects with ASD between 3 and 63 years. Results: The results indicate that the group of people with ASD who have a family psychiatric history and the group of people with ASD who is receiving pharmacological treatment have significantly higher scores on stereotyped behaviors and self-injury. Although these results should be taken with caution due to the limitations of the study, they underline the usefulness of considering the detailed evaluation of the different types of repetitive behaviors in dealing with treatment of people with ASD
