We can usually get her to sit on our laps and gently rub the front of her shins, that has been most effective. It tends to be a self-soothing act, whether from excitement, anticipation, fear...any emotion that is a little more than a normal relaxed behavior (ie most of the time)

What has evaluator advised you to do when these behaviors begin...distract him from what starts it up?

What should be a parent's response when the flapping starts? Should the child be distracted from what causes him/her to start the behavior. Child has new facial changes now. kinder4801

my 5 yr old daughter is autistic but has never flapped like that however my 7 yr old son been flapping like that since he was two but was never diagnosed with anything but delay of speech...I always thought it was the cutest thing and I would catch myself doing it as well if we ever got excited together!!!!!!!!

your daughter is adorable!my 3yr old son was just diagnosed mild to moderate autistic and he flaps his hands also and does the same face expression whenever he gets excited, happy or focusing on something.

My 5 yr old does this exact flapping and mouth opening when she gets excited or proud too. My child is not aspergers or autistic. She has great imaginative play and good eye contact. This is her only autistic behavior. What other autistic traits does your child have that led the doctor to dx aspergers? I'm very interested in your response.

she is adorable! My girl does this too! Curious, does she ever moan when excited? |
