My son is four years old. I am having a hard time coping with the stimming. Turning lights on and off; opening and closing doors; opening and shutting the refrigerator; standing on the table and twisting the chandelier; screwing around with door stoppers and screaming when I pull him away. Sticking his finger into my scalp. Scratching me. Swallowing swimming pool water even when I ask him to stop 1000 times. Why does the self sabotage everything ? I take him swimming and he swallows swimming pool water. I take him to Hawaii and all he wants to do is open and close the door. I carry him on my shoulders when he's tired of walking and he jabs my scalp with his fingernail. He says "my belly button" over and over again.
He's cute, I love him no matter what, but I hope it gets better.
