Guest guest Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hi, My son is 5 years old and has very high functioning Autism. He mostly struggles with a speech delay. He has always been interested in opening/closing doors, and goes through phases of OCD-like behavior where everything revolves around playing with doors, or he turns things into doors. He gets super excited when we go to a store with an automatic door and would run in and out of the doors for hours, if I let him. He seems drawn to them, and almost like it is out of his control. This phase seems to be lasting longer than those in the past, and he is constantly wanting to watch videos on YouTube of elevator doors opening and closing. Is there any supplement that I can give him to help this behavior? He is GF/CF and on a multitude of vitamins/supplements from our DAN Naturopath but wasn't sure if anyone had any experience with this and if they have used something that has helped. Also, I try to ignore the behavior, or re-direct him, and that usually works, but he always ends up back at the doors. Thank you so much e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
