[QUOTE="SRL, post: 429752, member: 701"] I agree that there's a chance that this may be scripted/mimicked speech, but at 3 1/2 with a very advanced vocabulary it's also possible it's not. Picking it up from another child is a reasonable explanation but is he watching any tv/dvd's that are violent in nature? This includes children's programming--when you pay close attention it's very surprising sometimes what's really there. As for the ticks and potty behavior, neither is uncommon with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. Many kids will hold BM's at school, even neurotypical kids who simply prefer to use the bathroom at home. If he's hitting his penis/bladder area you'll want to look into urinary tract infection: [URL]http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/utichildren/[/URL] Tics are very common in kids on the spectrum. What many parents find is that the tics ebb and flow--may increase with anxiety or new situations, and often when one type disappears another type will develop. Just to be on the safe side, I wouldn't leave him alone with the little ones. He's too young to really understand how much harm an action could cause. [/QUOTE]
