My understanding is repetitive requests is a symptom of autism. Here they are saying there are no such requests, nor requests for objects or requests for help from the child. So this is indicative of something. Like really bad autism for example. Oversimplifying things here.

Et vous croyez que la phrase fait état des demandes de l’enfant plutôt que du parent ? Bien possible! Le cas échéant, ça ne change pas grand chose: it still means that she’s not asking for objects nor asking to repeat a game/action (whatever it is they are talking about!) or asking repeatedly for the same thing or for help.

Redundant : Not or no longer needed or useful; superfluous.
Redundancy : The state of being not or no longer needed or useful.
Recurrent : Occurring often or repeatedly.
Recurrence : The fact of occurring again.
(Oxford)

Par ailleurs, si vous jugez que "repeated requests" ne s’applique pas parce qu’il ne s’agit pas de "demandes récurrentes", vous avez le même problème avec "redundant requests", puisqu’ils ne s’agit pas non plus de demandes redondantes, non?

@Germaine: seriously? This is a 3 year old patient with autism!

Germaine May 17, 2019:

She’s not asking for equipment nor for regular/repeated (medical) appointments/consultations/examinations (whatever it is they are talking about) or assistance/services
