[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 430473, member: 1550"] Well, if he didn't have autism, I'd say it was disturbing. But autistic kids do have sensory issues and weird fascinations with things that other people don't. My son used to be able to throw his ball up and down forever, just watching it go up and fall down. I guess that's like the shampoo, only he didn't waste anything. Sometimes the ball would go into an unsympathetic neighbor's yard and the neighbor would yell at him, in which he'd cover his ears because of the loud noise. When he was VERY little he'd get fixated on turning a light on/off or rocking. He is much better now.I don't know if this is a stimulant or a sensory. He probably likes how the food feels in the water. I would hide the shampoo and maybe try those bath tub crayons to amuse him. Maybe they will work. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids get bored very fast and like to touch everything and experiment in some strange ways. Part of that is the sensory problems that they have. They like to touch/feel/try new textures out etc. It is possible to teach them what is and is not socially acceptable. Some will be able to adapt to social norms and some can not. Depends on how affected they are. Is he getting any interventions? [/QUOTE]
