[quote=Anonymous]A couple of points. It's very natural to be reassured by smell. Smell is our primal and first sense. It's our oldest sense developmentally as humans. If you find this behavior troubling, you might read Bonnie Blodgett's Remembering Smell, in which she discussing smell, the sense of smell, and our need to be reassured by smell. Interesting read. You might give your son a t-shirt of yours to sleep with or as a lovey. I think he'll outgrow this behavior. I think it's normal on a continuum of behaviors, probably exacerbated by his special needs and sensory seeking behavior. I don't find his behavior sexual, if that's what you are implying. Your scent glands are in your armpits and near your breasts. This is you -- your momness -- at your most primal level. I don't think he's getting off on this in any way. [/quote]
