Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 It could be sensory issues, like a sensory integration disorder or a neuralgia. Don't know for sure of course, just ideas. > > I have a friend who has a five year old boy. The school thought they should evaluate him in regards to being on the Spectrum. From what I have heard stimming is the only autism characteristic that he has. He shakes his hands (flapping) a lot. I am wondering what could this be caused from? She is bringing him by my house this weekend to see if I can see anything or other characteristics of Autism. Any ideas or advice I could give her? Thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 My child is not on the autism spectrum, although I truly believe that if we didn't intervene with diet, supplements and addressing toxins, we would have an asperger's child by the time he reaches middle school. When my son does these things, it's related to yeast or bacterial overgrowth. People can point you to therapy and diets all you want, but for us, it's ALWAYS pathogens...the diet is important in the process of healing an unhealthy gut, don't get me wrong, but the cause is usually something going on in the gut, and imbalance. That is just my opinion, based on my children. > > I have a friend who has a five year old boy. The school thought they should evaluate him in regards to being on the Spectrum.
