compulsive behavior....stimming again...video games

[Guest guest]

I just can't get my son to stop playing this imaginary hand game...where he makes a cha cha sound. I don't know what to do now. He is 5.4, completely verble, he is selectively social with kids and some adults and very social with ten year old boys and all girls. It seems to be an escape from a sensory overload...but it has become obsessive and I can't figure out why. He does like video games and star wars films and he says he is playing, but it almost looks like a tick and is distruptive in school and has caught the attention of everyone around us. He was doing so great a year ago with no stims. Not sure why this happend again. Any thoughts?
