| She's probably stimming and trying to block you out. I would suggest you do something that you know she enjoys (tickling, compression, playing with a particular toy etc.) for a minute or two to break the stim and then try again. ↑ |

| Hi aggie try doing intensive interaction with her. Check out www.davehewett.com or google intensive interaction. It is an approach to teaching the pre-speech fundamentals of communication to children. ↑ |

| try to get all the information on a sensory diet it has nothing to do with food when autistic child makes weird sounds and make weird facial looks its because they are over stimulated .there are things you can do to calm them down one thing is called deep touch try gentally squeezing each finger tip they really like that also you can try another method of calming her down you get a light weight vest and put small weights in the pockets Im not sure if you know most autistic children feel detached from,there minds and body , sometimes they need to feel weighted down to feel there mind and body are connected my son is 8 he is mildly autisitic when he get overly stimulated he puts big pillows on himself he learned to calm himself down I think if you learn about a sensory diet you will find many different ways to help with the odd behavior its really helped me if you want to talk more about this e/mail me at [email protected] my name is kathy ↑ |

| I forgot to add that a regular pediatrician can refer you to a speech path and OT. You also can get in to see a neuro before a developmental pedi. ↑ |
