My 5 year old used to often put his hands in his mouth, mostly in new situations or when he was asked to do something challenging I think. But about 2 months ago, he started doing it all the time, regardless of the situation. His classmates don't want to be around him. His teacher is always telling him to wash his hands or put hand sanitizer on them. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I’m just now experiencing this with my 2 year old. He has Autism too and don’t know what to do.
I have 4 years old under the spectrum. Since he was two years old he is humping pillows whenever the opportunity comes a home. He does not do such thing at daycare, but whenever he comes home from daycare, he eats and then start humping pillow on the bed. I saw he has erection. Is this normal?. Usually he does that for over 30 minutes. I do really need to know if anybody saw something like this in the past.
My 3 year old grandson has been doing the same thing for a little over a year I notice it more when he is tired
It’s hard to say what our kids get out of the things are obsessed with it might just really comfort him and help him feel regulated in ways we don’t understand so I don’t know if there’s anything… read more

We had a similar experience where my daughter just wasn't responding to certain therapists and the service we were using was having trouble keeping employees. She started out loving it and then just… read more
Has anyone ever filed a complaint with their state's board of education because the district did not resolve the issue? My issue is my son's school has not had a speech therapist on staff all year. I found out the one from last year is still in the district but in a different position...... Did the issue get resolved after this? Was your child treated differently at school after and during complaint process?
The beginning of the last school year my son was in kindergarten and improperly placed for the 1st 9 weeks. It broke my heart. Nonverbal communication is something I worry about every minute of every… read more
My son is 4. He is constantly moving. Climbing, reaching, snacking, jumping, wandering around… he cannot sit or stand still. Even if he watches tv, he is fidgeting. Are all ASD kids this hyper? He is constantly doing things he shouldn’t be doing. He understands, but does it anyway. I feel like I’m on constant watch
When I see him behave this way, I am positive he is severely ADHD. The doctor we saw last week was speechless. She was sympathetic, but offered no solutions. He ran into the middle… read more
Thanks so much! My son has been in ABA since last summer. It’s been great as they helped us with potty training and she’s so gentle and kind, but he’s been breezing through their goals

Oo I like that idea, he gets very excited about very active activities like that, noticing cracks etc
I see other kids want a drivers license, hunting license, buying things related to their hobbies etc and taking steps to do it. Mine says she wants to drive but won't open the book, wants her HS diploma but won't do the work etc. I am very goal oriented so this is very hard to wrap my mind around.
I think a lot of times people with autism do better at reaching large goals if they are broken down into smaller more manageable goals. At least that's what I have been told in therapy.
My son will do this strange behavior where he goes in his room, closes the door, he doesn't want anyone watching and he'll pile up a bunch of blankets on his bed lay on top of the pile of blankets and start very rapidly humping almost seizure like! He humps like this once a day! What is this?
How old is your son? At least he has the concept of doing that stuff behind closed doors. My ASD daughter is 13 and has a habit of sticking her hand between her legs. I don't think she does it in… read more
