STIMMING due to Bio-Med

[Guest guest]

Agree re coping mechanism, this could be down to things like pain or

anxiety or insecurities even.

this could be off the mark but maybe worth considering: but wondering

if it could be possible that some of the biomed sups brought on

hightened awareness for your son (you mentioned noticing more

awareness?) and as a consequence he is confused by this 'new

environment' and maybe frightened a bit of all this new information,

resulting in more stims (defence)??

I would be worried about him speaking less, but if he is really more

aware and 'with it' maybe he needs some time now to come to terms with

this new world around him... In an ideal world you really would need to

determine if his regression with language is the real one (ie not being

ABLE to speak, or too remote/disconnected to care to speak), or him

being a bit confused and frightened.

sorry if blabbering or stating the obvious, better stop now
