Hand Biting and Walking with Eyes Closed

[Guest guest]

My son did that hands in the mouth, I heard it was metal poisoning.

My 16 month old hasn't been diagnosed yet but I am certain he will be

soon. His first Occupational Therapist appointment is Wednesday. The

therapist is with the state's " Early Intervention " program. I am very

concerned about my sons latest stim/stib " hand biting " and walking

with his eyes closed. Can anyone shed some light on how to

distract,reduce the amount or slowly phase out the behavior. I know

it's importatn for me to first find what might be causing the

behavior but if anyone has experience with this I'd appreciate you

sharing your stories. New to this overwhelming world of ASD but

starving for others experience in an effort to get some direction.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

give me something he likes/obesses - drinking straw.

he would stop crying and starting chewing the straw.

not sure it is good or not but at least stops him from biting his

hand.

Not to overwhelm you, but there are certain biochemical disorders that show

up with hand biting as a symptom.

Some of them are treatable with vitamins. I don't recall which soecific

ones-there are too many, but I'm sure if you type hand biting and autism

into a web browser, you will get some hits. I hope you get the support you

need here

Hand biting can be a number of things: phenol intolerance, other food

intolerance, yeast issues, too much vitamin B, a few other things.

Walking with eyes closed can be yeast, vitamin A deficiency, and a few

other things.

What happened immediately before he started doing these things? Did

you add or remove anything?
