Spinning

My 4 year old mild autistic child has started spinning when he asks for a snack. That is the only time he does it. He doesn't do any hand flapping or anything else like it. Is this a typical trait for an autistic child?

Re: Spinning

Spinning plates, spinning bodies....I've certainly heard of both.

Re: Spinning

Spinning is a trait of autism -- not all kids on the spectrum do it, and the extent to which those who spin do it can also really differ.

My little guy spins periodically -- sometimes it's when he's really overstimulated and needs to be in his own world, other times he's just hyper-spaz and will spin forever and ever. He also hand flaps, and his fingers are constantly moving, and he's an extremely verbal kid..though his communication skills need definite work.

Re: Spinning

When I got excited as a kid I would spin around several times. Redirecting me seemed to help and stop the spinning for the moment.

Re: Spinning

My 4yr old son spins too when I give him a snack or something to drink. Jut one time like he's killing the time between him asking for it and me giving it to him. It's like he can't wait, or just stand there and wait so he spins. He doesn't hand falp either.
