Conor loves to spin on my kitchen floor (because it is a bit slippery) and even though it takes lots of spinning, he does eventually get dizzy and bangs into doors and cabinets. I'm not sure exactly what it is he likes about it. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 trevor was just spinning in circles and got dizzy as all get out. he actually fell down! the question i have is this... how many of your kids DO get dizzy? do any of them? i know kailey doesn't. and i know i've read somewhere about our kids NOT getting dizzy for some reason, but i wasn't sure if it was " the rule " or what. the reason i wonder is that, if you're thinking that it could be a possibility that your kid is autistic, if (s)he gets dizzy, would that be a definite sign that (s)he is NOT autistic?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 , doesn't get dizzy when he spins himself, but DOES get dizzy if I spin him. gets dizzy regardless of if she spins herself or someone else spins her. I don't know if this helps or not, but -Beth is most definitely NOT autistic.

That's pretty well established...but I think that a child can go either way...over-sensitive or under- sensitive...it gets tricky to tell sometimes because some children are shut down...seem to be under-sensitive when actually they are SO sensitive that their nervous systems stop recognizing information from that system...looks like they are tolerating a lot when they are actually " ignoring " it all...can happen with any sensory system, as I understand it.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 My Jordan gets dizzy sometimes and falls over ... other times, he doesn't seem to. I don't think it's a good predictor. Debbie weird sort of question... trevor was just spinning in circles and got dizzy as all get out. he actually fell down! the question i have is this... how many of your kids DO get dizzy? do any of them? i know kailey doesn't. and i know i've read somewhere about our kids NOT getting dizzy for some reason, but i wasn't sure if it was " the rule " or what. the reason i wonder is that, if you're thinking that it could be a possibility that your kid is autistic, if (s)he gets dizzy, would that be a definite sign that (s)he is NOT autistic?
