what to do about tic like behavior?

[Guest guest]

My 6yo son who has AS just started doing this thing with his nose

where he breathes out like a small snort about every 10 seconds or

so...he doesnt have a cold and I dont think he even realizes he is

doing it. But I mentioned it to him while we were reading a story,

and asked him if his teacher and said anything about it yet..he says

he doesnt do it at school but I bet he does. I will ask her.

Anyway.....do I try to stop him from doing it? Can he help it? Or

should I just leave it alone and see if it goes away? This is the

first one that its pretty constant. Seems like his AS symptoms really

stepped up since Christmas break, too. More stuttering, especially.

And he is getting upset easier too, it seems. But right before that

he went through a spell where he was eating like a horse, maybe he hit

a big growth spurt? He is back down to his normal appetite now. Any

ideas? Should I make a deal out of the nose thing or no?

Thanks
