Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 In my son's case it was lack of zinc, he no longer licks things or eat something that is not edible. But nothing compared to what Donna has shared about our darling Maddie. She is the queen in this department. I remember Gail sharing about her son Seth who also right along with Maddie but I believe they were some gross moments on him eating off his shoes, licking tires, something like that. Do y'all remember? Seems like Tori is falling into this category now, some exploration going on. Irma,19,DS/ASD > > > In a message dated 2/12/2008 9:51:41 A.M.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Oh my, has a shoe thing too. He loves to chew on shoes. You could be driving down the road hearing " squeak, squeak, squeak... " in the back seat as chewed on his tennis shoe. YUCK!! How can he be so healthy???? I guess he's been exposed to it all. Not to mention his love to lick counters as he trys to see over them. Jen > > > > > > > > > In a message dated 2/12/2008 9:51:41 A.M.
