Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 Hi all, Has anyone had problems with a child with hand stims that come and go-- even when the child has remained on a specialty diet 100%, and no new supplements? My child has these hand stims that is not flapping, but could look like it at times. He just does this hand-finger quick movement as if he was making some sort of a hand puppet. Sometimes it's accompanied by jumping (usually see this out of excitement, but other times seems random). This type of stim fluctuates from minimal to being very much present. I've tried reminding him to put his hands on his lap, " hands down " , " use your words " etc. we do lots of fine motor activites, I give him fidget toys, re-direct him, you name it! I just can't find the right solution for this. The strangest thing is how it sometimes is somewhat " non-existent " and then at times seems like he just does this all day long. Any ideas/suggestions appreciated. Thanks! Quote
