Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Just curious.... To those who have older ASD children... Do autistic characteristics/symptoms come and go? I mean, as they grow, do they develop some char. such as hitting self, hand flapping? Jane has started constantly biting her fingers and hands and she pulled her hair a few nights ago. I am wondering if this is " normal " or bc of something else???? Also, do I tell her to stop biting? We have tubing for her to bite, on the advice of her SI. I guess we can ask her SI, but she seems very lenient. I can just see Jane starting school in Nov and the teachers or kids not wanting to touch her hands bc they are in her mouth all the time. Plus the germs just gross me out! I think I worry too much! When does this get easier?! When will I have all the answers? teehee Janelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
