[quote=Anonymous]My DS is very similar! I will say that the stims come and go, so the vocal part may disappear. I also don’t try to interfere with stims, but lately I have been working with him to dial down the jumping in public (except where it’s appropriate like a park) and especially where it is unsafe (metro platform). He’s 11 and old enough to understand my explanation that it’s unsafe or gets in people’s way. He also just likes to move his body so I try to do a lot of walks outside where he can jump as much as he wants. I’ve also noticed that he is modifying his own behavior when his friends comment on it when they walk together. As for ABA, I don’t think you need it just for this unless the behavior is really persistent and disruptive or unsafe. But if she liked ABA before, I do think it’s a great age to start working on self-care skills via ABA, so that can include going to stores, acting as expected, learning to make purchases …[/quote]
