Compulsion To Smell Feet?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Fredericksburg, VA

I need some advice to help deal with my sons compulsion to smell others feet... It is a true compulsion in that you can his whole body trying to not do it, but he asks everyone to take off their shoes and socks and then smells... It completely pre-occupies his thoughts whenever is over... And of course people including myself think it is weird and uncomfortable. He smells any barefoot he sees including in pictures... Nothing happens after, just generally moves on but might go back again later if… read more

My daughter loves essential oils! So, it's a rather good smelling obsession.

Lancaster, PA

My son has been diagnosed with autism for years. He has always gone to the same daycare and haven't been told about any issues with his behavior. Except last week we received a letter stating if your child does the following we have a 3 occurrence policy. 1-we will talk to you, 2-we will talk to you and ask u to take your child home to work on/fix their behavior and be excused from the center for a period of time, 3-we will ask you to leave the center.

Find out if they use pictures or any kind of reward at school and try to make everything as similar as you can.

Has Anyone's Child Been Given Different Diagnoses From Different Doctors?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
State College, PA

We have taken our almost 6 year old son to be diagnosed by PSU. Our son has been diagnosed with DDD-NOS from one doctor and PDD-NOS from another. Now PSU says he has ODD. I'm so confused. No one seems to agree on a diagnoses except they all agree he has ADHD. Anyone have this happen? Any recommendations?

Yes- by the same agencies no less. My son has HFA ASD. They felt originally he did not warrant a diagnosis. However, his behaviors became more pronounced after four

Fear not! I don’t know which way it will go, but the only person you need to check in with is his doctor. When my son was about 1 1/2 to 2, he would eat chicken, french toast, smiley fries, yogurt and… read more

Has Anyone Had Issues With Stealing By Your ASD Child? What Did You Do To Stop This Behavior?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tucson, AZ

We have a 10 year old son with ASD. He steals whatever he wants with no remorse. He has been doing this for years. He steals food, candy, money, toys from stores. I have to do a pocket check if I take him shopping with me. If you ask him if stealing is wrong, he says yes. Yet the behavior goes on. What should we do?

Compulsive Throwing Away Things.

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hornell, NY

My son wants to throw things away. I have no idea why he wants to do this. But he wants to throw things away so badly that he actually will rip up items so he "justify" throwing them away. He throws away books, clothes, food, etc. It happens every day, throughout the day, and multiple times per day.

He's 18 so I can't physically stop him. I am able to delay him. He also gets sneaky about it to the extent of getting up during the night to throw things away.

Ideas anyone?
