sticking fingers down throat, vomiting

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had a problem with your autistic child sticking their

fingers down their throat, 'til they gag and vomit?

My son used to try to stick his whole hand down his throat, until

he would vomit...I used to have to follow him around, and pull his

hand out of his mouth, constantly...now I wonder if he felt that

there was something " in there " and was trying to " get it out " ???

I feel sure that I am merc. toxic, and frequently feel like there

is something " stuck in my throat. "

Lindy,

Not to scare you, but has he had a MRI. My son at two would do this,

of course the doctor said it was for attention. He had a brain

tumor. This is a common with kids with brain tumors to relieve

pressure. He may just have a headache. Or it can be entirely

different. It seems to me kids do things to make things right. They

are so smart.
