Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 My 4 y/o likes to turn his head to one side, close the opposite eye, squint the one turned the same direction and walk very close to things like fences, bushes, up and down chair slats. He also likes to take his fork when he is eating and do the same thing by raising his fork in front of his face with eyes the same. He also likes to cover things partially and do this or the same with his face right on top of a picture or something. He has a Baby Einstein video where a ball rolls from top to bottom across the screen and he will stand at the end where it rolls to right up against the TV and still sees it and laughs like crazy when it comes to him. We don't much let him have anything that lights up anymore because it was much worse then. He is amazing on a computer but I'm concerned to about him stimming on that because he just screaches with laughter, then runs and jumps all around like never before. He also always turns his TV on when his computer is on. I'm assuming this is just too much stimulation even though he appears to love it. Any experiences with this or recommendations? I know a lot of parents that just allow there kids to stem and say it helps them deal with things. For us, when he is not stemming, other than him being mostly non-verbal and a bit hyperactive you pretty much can't even tell anything is wrong with him. He also doesn't get upset if he doesn't get the things he stems on. He loves them, but he finds other things to do he is happy with. I would appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks so much!
