[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 712050, member: 1550"] My autistic son used to lick the skin around his lips so badly that his skin got infected and I had to get a script for cream to put on it. I personally feel picking, licking etc. Is autistic related and probably could use medical intervention to prevent infections. Did you ask the parents about it? He may be already getting care. This us more a nasty stimulant than an attempt at self harm like cutting. And as parents its hard to get them to stop. I never took son for counsrling for any if his stims. One reason is because autistic kids dont tend to relate well to counselors and dont commuicate their thoughts well and that is what counseling is about. Some have receptive language problems too. My son stopped his worst stims as he got older. He used to pick at sores too but not as bad as the little guy you care for. [/QUOTE]
