[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 83045, member: 3837"] All three of my difficult children do these types of things. husband walks around whistling all the time and he doesn't know it, so they come by it honestly. In all honesty, I can't stand senseless noise. Talking doesn't bother me. Tapping a pencil does, or clicking your tongue repeateadly. But the more I learn about different disorders and coping mechanisms, the more I understand. I'm sure there is a book or article out there somewhere that is specific to these types of things. The whistling actually helps husband stay on topic. He will whistle about what he is thinking, or what he hears, it can actually be pretty funny if you figure out what tune he is whistling. My difficult children do it for concentration. It helps block out the other noises in the room or thoughts running through their heads if they make a noise themselves. She probably doesn't think this way, I know I didn't. Why don't you drop her an email about how this helps him focus and that it isn't intentional. When I first learned of ODD, this type of behavior was actually something described as being ODD. Now that I know more about my kids and their DXs, I realize it isn't always them trying to be a pain. She needs to come to this conclusion or she's going to need a padded room before winter break. [/QUOTE]
