Self choking behavior

[Guest guest]

Hi, all.

My five year daughter has had problems of putting her hand down her throat to

choke herself for sensory input. She has been doing this since she was a baby

and it is getting worse. Yesterday, I heard her coughing loudly in the middle

of the night. This morning found her all messed with what she threw up. My wife

thinks that she must have choked herself like she did in the past.

Do any of you here have similar experience and have found some effective way of

dealing with this?

Thanks,

Xun
