[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 137938, member: 2894"] Thanks everyone. Oh...one thing I wanted to add to get an opinion on. M was doing this clapping thing...not an autistic hand flapping thing, but if he was excited about something, he would clap his hands together really fast. My husband was very annoyed by this behavior, so he would draw attention to it every time M would do it and ask him to stop clapping. So, over time, the clapping has stopped, but now he rubs his hands together really fast (like a motion you would make symbolic of washing your hands of something). He often does this when he puts something down. He does it without thinking and says he can't help it. It almost seems like an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) type thing. I mentioned it to his psychiatrist and he noted it, asked if he did anything else (tics or anything) and I said no, so he said we'll just keep an eye out. I was just curious if anyone had any thoughts or input on that. My aunt and her son (my cousin) do have a diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). [/QUOTE]
