OT : need a tip from the experts

[Guest guest]

My son with autism 4 1/2, who's been weaned from a pacifier

since Feb 2000, with lots of efforts from everyone(was his transition

object), has just started getting hold of his bro & sis ones at every

chance he gets.

I don't know if I ever said this, but he's non verbal (except than

one or two words)and, of course-doesn't understand most of the things

said to him-that's why I can't wait to start ABA and see improvements-

He's been doing it for about a month now and it is getting worse,

while he anyway keeps making little improvements at school. He

doesn't *understand* NO or STOP THAT, that we say or he just " chooses

to ignore it " , so we just keep on taking it away from him every time.

Anyway, I know it is a sensory issue, and we are working on that;

but has anyone went through this? and if so, what did y'all do about

it?

Thanks in advance-it is driving me crazy!!-
