[quote=Anonymous]My BFF from childhood hand flaps. She does not have HFA. I have a child with HFA who never hand flaps. Until DC was diagnosed and I read about stims and hand flapping, I never knew that hand flapping could indicate autism. I always thought this was one of my friend's mannerisms and actually kind of cute. She hand flaps with her hands near her chest. She only does it when she is happy and excited about something. She is an Ivy league graduate with a MBA working in international finance, married with children. The hand flapping for her has never been an issue. My child with HFA finger postures sometimes and he use to jump up and down, pogo jumps (thanks pp), when he is happy and excited. He's 6. Nowadays, he mostly verbalizes his happiness and excitement but honestly, I would not care if he kept finger posturing and/or pogo jumping when he's excited.[/quote]
