I am wondering if any of you have kids with psychomotor excitabilities. My DS9 has a whole bunch of them, plus a tic occasionally (like after he's had a cold, he has a coughing/throat clearing tic but it seems to go away pretty quickly now.) He tends to pace or lope across the room, jump on the couch, but in a repetitive way. He is not autistic, he has great sensitivity and depth of feeling and can read others very well. However the other kids are starting to notice it and ask him what he's doing. I told him to just tell them he likes to run/jump/etc when he's happy, and then ask them what they do when they are happy.
He has a few other, I guess "stims", that make him look different. He's getting to an age when other kids are noticing. Has anyone else been through this?
