[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you elaborate on the repetitive behaviors? We are in the middle of a multi-faceted evalutation for my 5 year old, and I am anticipating a diagnosis of PDD NOS, because although he seems to have most characteristics of Asp., it's just not quite enough, I think.  He has the obsessions, but I don't think he has the repetitive behaviors.  He used spin things before he was 2 yrs old., but he has no "stim" behaviors now.  [/quote]

Different poster here, but I can describe what my son's stims look like. He had no stims/repetitive behaviors after he was a small baby. He hand-flapped a lot when he was under 1  year, but he stopped doing that at a developmentally appropriate age.  He had no stims/repetitive behaviors again until he was 6 or 7. Then he started pogo-jumping when he was excited. He jumps up and down with both feet like he is on a pogo stick.  He does this when he's playing on the playground or playing a video game or watching a really good TV show. (American Ninja Warrior  is a current favorite.)

He also finger postures. He touches his thumb to the tips of his fingers, over and over, when he is talking to people. Sometimes he snaps his fingers. It's not obnoxious, but it's definitely there. [/quote]
