[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 591170, member: 1550"] Well, that IS a part of autism and it's annoying. It's a stimulant and hard to stop and I'm not sure you CAN stop it because he isn't trying to annoy you. The sounds soothe him. I would not tell him to knock it off. That's treating his behavior as if he were doing something wrong and he's not...it's part of his disorder. You CAN tell him that it would be better if he didn't make sounds where other people can hear him, or at least could he please try to control it until you get home. I have no idea how well Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids can control their stimming, especially when very young. Sonic learned to do them mostly in his room and now that he is an adult, he doesn't make those odd sounds anymore. I'm not quite sure what to tell you, but I did want you to know that in some kids they do stop stimming that way. Take heart, we understand. It may be best to avoid busy restaurants if you have to bring him with. We did. He couldn't handle them, or malls, or lots of places. But he can handle anything now. It takes time. [/QUOTE]
