    I've been Money Tipped!
    If we're talking about friends, my mate had real issues with her 1 yr old girl who used to get very into rubbing herself against the sturdy part of the highchair that went between the legs to ensure baby didn't slip out.
    Who made hogs and dogs and frogs?
  • My daughter had a very obvious habit of 'rubbing' herself up against things. I was forever moving her off the corner of the bed or the arm of my mum's settee. I drew the line at the communion rail in church though! :rotfl:She's 17 now, and I imagine she'd be absolutely mortified if I ever reminded her!

  • I decided to introduce a little bit of modern music to my 2 boys age 5 & 7 so left them with mtv playing while i topped up drinks, I returned to find youngest had changed willow smiths 'whip my hair' to 'I whip my winky back and forth, i whip my winky back and forth' and both were in fits of laughter wiggling their bums !!

    boys eh ;) ??
    Bow Ties ARE cool :cool:

    I've 2 sons, now 18 and 16 - DS1 was forever in his own little world with hands down his pants. Worst was swimming lessons when they had to wait poolside until the instructor appeared and he just stood there calmly and unconsciously fondling himself while in the line with all the other lads. DS2 used to sleepwalk and move and shout out loads in his sleep - I dread to think what he was dreaming about some times when he'd appear half way down the stairs, hand on willy and saying how someone was trying to steal it!
    Then as they get older it becomes more about what they know they're doing...When DS1 was about 14 I went into his room when he was supposed to be revising and he very rapidly moved a school book. I was convinced I'd seen him tuck something inside it and asked him...he said it was just his book. But he's the world's worst liar so I asked him more directly what had he got hidden in there. He went very red and looked so guilty and just mumbled that it was nothing, just his book. So I told him to give it to me. He looked mortified...I opened the chemistry book to find...a book with tips for playing the bass guitar!! He was guilty as he'd been more into his bass than revising, then the penny dropped as to what I'd thought...to which he just calmly said that if he wanted to look at !!!!!! he'd use the internet!!!
  • one of my 15 year olds, often has his hands down the front of his trousers, if i tell him to take his hands out, he says he's keeping them warm:o incidentally spotted another teenage lad in mc d's today doing the same thing, hands down front of his trackies:o
    loves to knit and crochet for others

    When my son was 2, he'd strip off all the time. When we went to my brother-in-laws they had a sheepskin rug and he'd lie face down on the rug and hump. When we asked what he was doing, he always said he was 'doodling'. :o

    My friends son, didn't used to strip but he often used to sit astride the arm of an armchair and 'doodle'. He'd get a faraway look in his eyes and it was like he couldn't hear anything when his mum spoke to him.
  • I am so glad that I had girls. And that they were told when anything was done (very gently) that 'If you want to do that, you really need to be in the bathroom or alone in your room, sweetie - you can't do that in front of other people'.

    mind you, I think that meant that they got the message that it was on a par with picking big bogies out of your nose - something best done in private, but ultimately rather rewarding _pale_
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    sorry but that made me giggle! I have three kids - a girl and two boys and they are grown up now, but, yes, we went through the 'willy' bit, and the 'omg, I am NOT going to have hair there!' bit!
    I think you handled it right.

    Talking about hair 'down there'....youngest was so upset that the other two boys had hair and he didn't so he solved the problem.

    He drew them on with pen!

    He was so proud coming out to me in the kitchen whilst I was cooking dinner and proudly announced "I have hair!", I didn't know whether to laugh, tell him off for drawing on himself or be proud at him for finding a way around the problem :rotfl:

    Now that is one story I am so going to enjoy telling to his girlfriend if he ever gets one when he is older.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
