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. The other day I was out and let her out of her stroller to play with toys at the store and when I told her it was time to leave she had the biggest tantrum I have ever seen. She was crying falling to the floor kicking screaming turning bright red and started scratching her self. I didn't know how to calm her and at that point there was know way as she was not listening. I had to pick… read more

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.

Does Anyone Have A Child On The Spectrum That Does Not Like Dogs? What Do You Do About It?
My son doesn't like dogs, they make him nervous. He is increasingly annoyed with our chocolate lab, even though she is the sweetest girl and knows to leave him alone. It makes me sad. He likes cats, but not dogs. It seems to be getting worse over time. My usual behavioral techniques are not working. Nothing seems to motivate him to be kind to her -- or any other dog. He retreats as soon as he sees one coming, he can't fall asleep if she is in the room, he basically doesn't want to do anything if… read more
My son is like that but he is actually allergic to the dog's saliva not the the dog's fur just the saliva. But he makes aweful sound if our dogs mouth gets close to him at all.
