    Citation Excerpt :

    Attempts by caretakers to interrupt punding leads to irritability in patients with Parkinson’s (Evans et al., 2004), suggesting a persistent, irresistible, compulsive need for the patient to engage in these behaviors, despite potentially adverse personal, familial, or occupational consequences. Punding, and the insistence on performing the behaviors which punding defines, are reminiscent of the repetitive behaviors, restricted interests, and strict adherence to routines observed in individuals with ASD (Kanner, 1944). Work in animals also supports a role for DA in compulsive and repetitive behaviors.
