Re: weird mouthing behaviors

[Guest guest]

My older son used to do that. He would say something and then repeat it in a

whisper after he said it. I don't know why he did it and sometimes he would

deny doing it and sometimes he would admit it. I would tease him by doing it

myself, in a loving way of course He would laugh and go " oh no, I can't help

it! " That was my way of making him aware he was doing it, and he doesn't do it

anymore now. Thinking that kind of strange thing is something where the brain

is healing from the damage and they are rehearsing somehow, their new-found

confidence in saying what's on their mind or whatever?

He hasn't done it in awhile, but I will let you know if it comes back after

starting up chelation again (after about 3 weeks break), as it sometimes does.

He used to have some motor tics, they left completely. And, come to think of

it, they may be related to new-found ability to stimulate nerve pathways and

could have been a healing process as well.

Sometimes they will just mouth words and not say anything. I watched to see if

it was related to emotional responses...but I can't find a common thread

there...just unrelated at any time for any reason...no clues as to

why....anybody????

This is my tic kiddo....he was on risperdal for years...before I got peeved

cause his drs were saying he was developing it from that but wouldn't take him

off...so I did. But this is something odd...

We do something similar...he's 13 in age..and what we do is I explained to him

about staring people....he asked...that it was like

a light on over his head....and now we say " Turn the light off, " and he

understands laughs and reaches up and pulls the light switch off....but it is

still not something I would like to continue if we can find a way to get rid of

it.

Thanks for respsonding
