[QUOTE="Luxiem, post: 573601, member: 15782"] Your son sounds exactly like my 5 (almost 6 year old) son who has very high functioning autism. He's a hummer, but will sometimes switch it up with signing or just imitating a noise, like the obnoxious firetruck from Fireman Sam. His speech patch at school said it's an auditory stimulant, he's even told us he does it because it "feels good" to his eara. He also has some anxiety and sensory issues. The tantrum at bed over Mercury, we have that. Only we no longer give in, thanks to tips from his IBI therapist. I think you really have nothing to lose by getting him a full evaluation. Our saving grace was going to a pediatric neurologist. Even the district missed his diagnosis when he was 3 1/2. Get a full work up done, if everything is kosher (which it doesn't sound like it is) then you can say you did everything you could. But don't wait, time is truly precious. My son is a different kid after 2 years of therapy. [/QUOTE]
