[QUOTE="buddy, post: 572958, member: 12886"] Some teachers and I used to affectionately say to each other, we have a hummer....smile. This was when I was an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) in a variety of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) classes. I have worked with kids with many disabilities, but where I have heard this has been in the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) classes. From preschool through highschool I have had a few students who did this. I think you are insightful to be aware that it may be when he is on edge. We often felt it was a self soothing kind of sound. Of course it could be from other things, but I just thought that I'd share where I have seen this, and more than once in case it helps. I totally agree, it would be a good thing to have him evaluated in a really good comprehensive way. One thing that research is solid on....the earlier the intervention (if it is found to be needed) the more positive the outcomes. There are kids who actually do qualify for services at a young age and eventually do so well they dont need as much support. Knowledge is power. You do not have to tell anyone, nor do you have to act on it, but looking back and wishing you had started earlier is an awful feeling. I'm guessing you wouldn't be posting here if you were not concerned, so I fully support your instinct to check things out further. Sounds like a super kid by the way! No matter if there is ever a label of not, he will always be the same kid you love and adore. The labels are just tools to get therapy, interventions, and to help people understand if ever needed in a school setting or other type of situation where people are more understanding and can accommodate things better if you let them know.
