Holding Salvia In Mouth
My son has this new habit of holding salvia in his mouth for periods of time! I was wondering have anyone else experienced this situation? And if so what did you do to resolve the situation?
my son did that for hours - like 15 hours at a time, and then we found found out he was severely vitamin d deficient. 10 days of high doses of vitamin d reduced the behaviour substantially.
Hyperventilating
My son hyperventilates. Anybody had any similar experience?
Yes, there wasn't much I could do but breath into his face to keep him from holding his breath. It would change his respiration enough to pull him out of his tantrum. I also used a bike helmet on him… read more
How To Deal With Tantrums When Your Child Is At Their Worst Behavior In Public Or At Home?
My daughter recently likes to walk in stores and not go in her stroller and sometimes refuses to sit in a cart.

Holding Saliva In Mouth For Extensive Periods Of Time
Hi. I'm an AU teacher with a student who has a new habit (past 2 weeks) of holding his saliva in his mouth. He hovers over the garbage when we bring him to the garbage. I have tried to use reward items and activities he typically loves but he does not budge when it comes to this. I have read that this can affect children's teeth and after the child coughed last week, it went all over everything and everyone. I have contacted home but his guardian is lost and desperate to change the behavior.

Does Anyone Else Have Issues With An 11 Yr Old Asd Non Verbal Holding Saliva In Mouth?
My cute son will hold his spit in his mouth until he throws up or is told to spit somewhere. He will hold it on the school bus, in the car up to 80 miles without swallowing. This is all new behavior for us. Any tips or advice is appreciated.

Saliva
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?

Holding Urine
My son has been holding his urine for hours at a time. He only has about 3 wet diapers per day. His pediatrician didn’t seem worried when I asked her last week. But yesterday at school his teacher noticed he was holding himself and crying. He was dry from Tuesday night (around 630) till Wednesday around 2 pm. And he was visibly uncomfortable and crying, holding himself. Today has been the same situation, he was dry when he went to school at 11. Has anyone else had this experience with their… read more

Have You Gotten Any Genetic Testing Done On Your Child?
Has anyone gotten genetic testing done on your child? Yesterday we went to a geneticist and gave saliva samples. He took our family medical history. We’re doing a full genetic panel for autism and for cancer, since it runs on my side of the family.
Same here in Canada it was very expensive I give up and I focus my money into more therapy for her.
