[quote=Anonymous]DS is 3yo and diagnosed with high functioning autism. Recently I have noticed that his peers are already starting to notice some of his differences. For instance, we have been at the playground and another child will want to go play with him. Aside from the fact that he does not really respond appropriately and shies away, he tends to start stiming because I think that is a little stressful for him. I have heard the children ask their mothers "what is he doing?" One time we were able to just breeze over it and encourage playing together (with lots of help, thankfully a very persistent playmate.) Other times I wish I had a good child friendly explanation. Once I explained his mouth stim as him exercising his mouth. It did not feel quite right though. Any thoughts? Thanks! [/quote]
