Nathan has done this...well, he's always done this!!! LOL I was told by his neuropsych that this is common for kids on the spectrum. Do any of your kids do this? My main reason for posting this question, is mostly for the BTDT moms. WHEN DO THEY STOP???? He doesn't do this everytime he leaves a room, but he does do this alot. It's not a real problem or anything, just pondering the question.

Hi Michelle! Just wanted to let you know that Jake is 12.5 and he still does this. he will bend over and put his arms stiff at his sides and run. It got really bad around 5th grade.Now it has started to taper off some but he does still do it.
