Thanks everyone for your input on this! I know I shouldn't tell him myself and would never do such a thing, but it just hurts me to see how badly he must want the information and that his parents don't want to tell him. He has had a diagnosis singe age 4, so they have known for 5 years now. Does any...

I'm NT, but work with children with autism and Asperger's. I'm not a parent, but I'm wondering if this particular parent should tell her son or not. A high-functioning 9-year-old boy I work with currently does not know he has autism. However, within the past year he has been making comments that I b...

I'm just an NT that hangs out here mostly because I think it's interesting, and obviously there is music that makes some people stim more...

Out of curiosity, what other kinds of things has everyone seen/done as stimming behaviors? What's the most interesting one you've ever seen? When you talk about "co...

Hey, I just noticed something you said. You said stimming allows you to regain calm and control. This boy sometimes has tantrums in the classroom so that we have to take him out of the classroom to regain control. Right now we have other methods of helping him gain control, but in the hallway during...

Thanks for your input on the music, that's really interesting! So that only happens when you stim, or can you do that at other times as well? Does the kind of music you create influence what kind of stimming you do? We stop his stimming at school because often when he is stimming he can't pay attent...

Hey everyone, I need your comments, knowledge, and insights. My background: I'm an ABA therapist for a 7-year-old boy with high functioning autism. He is verbal. I am also a part-time shadow/aide for him at school, and one of the many parts of my job is redirecting stims. He mostly hand-flaps, makes...
