Hi fellow parents!
My son is 3, we're going through the process of getting him diagnosed with ASD. He stims a lot by shaking his hands, whole body and head and recently he has started humping the floor. It's obvious it's a way to self-soothe/regulate and me and dad are doing our best to find a stimulating distraction to stop him from doing it, but we're finding him doing it all times of the day and there's now been an occasion where he's made his genitals sore from the rubbing and it's kept him up at night.
Are there any other parents going through something similar? Does anybody have any advice or great distraction tips?
Thanks y'all 💜
