Guest guest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 My eight year old son has taken to humming all day. He doesn't seem to do it when he's particularly anxious. I asked him about it and he says he likes the way it feels. He said he likes to make noises and to " get the air out of him. " It doesn't bother me, but he said that the kids at school are getting annoyed with him and have asked him to stop. He said he stops and then goes back to humming without realizing it a few minutes later. He says that he feels bad about annoying others because he doesn't want them to think of him as an annoying person. Does anyone have any suggestions? He seems to need to have some kind of self-stimulating behavior. Before the humming, it forming saliva bubbles with his mouth, which looked kind of disgusting to others, but they could ignore it if they wanted. Thank you for any ideas!!
