[QUOTE="keista, post: 456544, member: 11965"] Well, if it makes difficult child 1 feel any better, my friend's son did a 'thing' with his hands when he was happy. He was age 3-5 at the time, but the kid is 100% neurotypical! It was very odd because we all knew of son's diagnosis at the time and recognized this behavior as stimming and we were 'concerned', but the behavior eventually went away and that was the ONLY Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) symptom the child displayed. And while I'm thinking about it, we can compare autistic stims to socially acceptable things 'normal' ppl do. Girls twirl or chew on their hair, men stroke beards or moustaches, biting nails, chewing pencils/pen caps etc. This might help difficult child and the class understand that while it seems strange or different, it really isn't all that strange or different.
