[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 188533, member: 1991"] MWM, if what he's doing is often and noticeable, then other people in his life far less considerate than you will already be mentioning it to him. He's your son, you know him best and you also know his world best, so think carefully; but chances are, you won't do any harm by saying to him, "Honey, I've noticed you doing this movement a bit more lately. Are you aware of it? It's OK, it's not a problem, I was just wondering..." If you have any odd habits of your own, especially ones your family teases you about, use that as an introduction. "You know, everybody has some little habit or other..." Is he really likely to be self-conscious about it, or are you just worried because maybe you would be, in his shoes? If it's just a nervous tic, he mightn't be aware of it; or he might only partly be aware of it. If he tries to suppress it, then some other way of coping has to develop. Marg [/QUOTE]
