Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I've heard yeast can cause this. Also, you might want to get a checkup with a pediatric opthamologist to rule out Visual Processing Disorder. My son does the same thing, and I am going to get him checked out. parasites possibly?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 You have a right to your professional opinion, but this woman has lived with autism all her life and knows what it feels like, what she sees, etc. So I have to respect her opinion and consider what she has to say.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 my son does this along with other Tics. Gluten & Casien are the offenders for him. This week, I let him break his diet because of the 4th of July. 3 days later the finger flicking returned. Between the diet and mineral supplements (calcium and magnesium) seems to remove the Tics To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Mon, June 21, 2010 3:55:25 AMSubject: Re: finger flicking-why, what to do parasites possibly?
