wiggling fingers next to nose?

[Guest guest]

I have never seen a question about this behavior but one of my son's

teachers said that it is a related ASD trait. Our dental hygenist said

that her son used to do it when he was younger - and, he has recently

told his mother that he thinks that he is ADHD.

My son puts the knuckles of his index fingers against the sides of his

nose and then wiggles all his fingers out in front of his face, probably

applying some pressure to the sides of his nose.

I always thought that it was a yeast related behavior but my son says he

does it when he is excited (the hygenist said the same about her son).

And maybe, there is more excitement when yeast is present. I still

fight yeast constantly.

Does anyone have any insight into this behavior? It most definitely

looks wierd to other children.
