[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will it still be cute or ok in 5 years? If not you should fix it. [/quote]
Myself and another poster explained that the stim could very well fade. It's not something to 'fix'. He isn't broken.[/quote]

Yeah it is something to fix. Fix doesn’t mean never allowing it. It does mean establishing places it’s appropriate and not appropriate. Like it’s ok in your bedroom or in the bathroom or at recess but not at school during class. You can also shape the behavior to one that’s  less disruptive/distracting/more socially acceptable. It’s just a fact that there’s no better way to make your kid the social outcast than flapping around other NT kids. A person saying quiet hands understands that’s just life. If they said it 24/7 that would be an issue, if they’re saying it in a social context where it’s preventing the child from interacting and building social skills then you should be thankful they’re willing to address things that are difficult.
