Thought about googling this but bit worried about what it might throw up.
My 3.6 yr old DS with ASD is currently constantly putting his hands in his nappies - front and back to touch himself. This has caused a few issues when he has done a BM but on the whole we have managed it and not tried to make too much of a fuss about it and try to keep a supply of anti-bac wipes around. I don't think he has an infection or anything. He just likes it.
His 1to1 at mainstream nursery has asked us for some advice on how to handle it - but - I thought this was a phase lots of toddlers go through regardless of any SN's. I know that DH's DD had a phase of it around the same age - maybe it just runs in his family?
So is the nursery right to ask for advice (surely they have seen this before??!!) and if so - what should we be doing?
