Saliva
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son has a habit of constantly licking his fingers and then “playing” with his saliva. I haven’t noticed him doing it in specific situations , it’s more of a constant thing throughout the day. Any tips on how to stop this behavior?

My son did that from age 3-5 but it passed. A chewy tube helped some during that time. He likes to play with a string a lot now.
