Hello :) yes, It does make sense for sure! I try not to get on her too much, we all have things we do/habits. She tells me that she has extra skin so it’s ok for her! She can be very entertaining 😆
Would You Consider Nail Biting And/or Sucking On Arms Or Skin (leaving Red Marks Behind) As Stimming? If So, Any Suggestions To Help Stop?
My 5 year old son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, OCD, SPD, tics, etc. He has a problem with his nails chipping or breaking easily. He also has hang nails often. He constantly is chewing on his nails, or I have noticed him sucking on his arms or hands until it leaves a red naek behind. Would you consider this as stimming? I am curious on your thoughts if I shoukd help him with a replacement of sorts? Is that a bad idea? Am I creating a desire to like and do this sensory input more? Or... Am… read more

Summer Activites For Asperger Daughter Age 9
So today is the first official day of Summer Vacation. I have a very chatty autistic girl who is banned from electronics right now (don't ask). I have books for her but she's not a big book person.

Preventing Biting Of Furniture And The House.
Our child is biting furniture and the walls of our house - there are teeth marks in wood furniture and chunks of drywall missing from the corners of doorways where he'll turn his head sideways, open his mouth and bit off chunks. So then we have to chase him down and get it out of his mouth, plus it's embarrassing to have people over with the walls all torn up. We've had to remove the chair rail from his room because he shredded it.
He has chewy tubes but apparently he thinks he's a gerbil… read more

How Do I Stop From Losing My Mind

I have 7-year old twin girls, born at 28 weeks. The one is an absolute delight - the happiest, most helpful, cooperative and tolerant little girl any mother could wish for. The other one is a nightmare. She has been diagnosed with mild autism. Intellectually she's a genius, but she battles on the social side of things.
She constantly picks fights and causes arguments (and then looks at you with those beautiful innocent… read more

Has Anyone Found Anything Helpful To Stop Skin Picking?
My 7 year old son has been making sores and picking to point of infection. I have tried to keep them covered but he just takes it off. Anything that you have found to help would be greatly appreciated.
My son takes off bandaids too. I use calendula ointment on my son's sores. If it gets really bad, then neosporin with pain relief.
