[Guest guest]

my son does it too he calls it talking hand and ive asked him not to do it in

public which promotes unwanted attn to him and people stare and ask me to tell

him to stop i said hes who he is and theres nothing wrong with that. he doesnt

do it at school but everywhere else he does lisa in fl

your son talking to his hands

It sounds like maybe he doesn't know how to handle his anger andfrustration so

he is trying to get it out in a safe way with his hands. I don't know how to

teach a child to get their anger and frustration out in an appropriate way, but

maybe some social stories would help to learn how a person deals with

frustration.  My daughter at 12 does a similar thing by going in her room and

creating characters that she voices frustration through. You would think that

there is a crowd of people in her room with all the conversation she has with

the make believe friends.  AFter talking with the psychologist, she had

suggested to give her social outlets, and also, make sure that she has someone

to talk to about what she goes through.  And, on top of that, to possibly take

some classes in learning social skills.

I think with the disabilities, for some reason, these chidlren struggle with

knowing how to vent frustration and anger.  These are just possibilities, but

maybe it woudl be a good idea

The nerve of anyone - telling your son - what to do and want not to do - is unbelievable.  If he was harming himself or another person/object that I can understand - but merely telling you to stop because it is making them uncomfortable - I think I would have to show them the " bird " and tell them where to go

Maybe you could show him the talking hand on the Adam's Family. He could ge the

idea that he is not the only one. Or maybe the oobi show where the characters

are from the hands.
