my youngest daughter use to do that and she would sit up against the wall and tear paper up in little peices and put hem in neat piles i took her to more doctors then i could count and never found out a thing she is 20 years old now has a son and a wonderful man she is doing great but still seem to keep into herself ..i hope your little one is fine and you can get answers

@AMCKEJB3 This video was taken 2 years ago now and she barely does it anymore,so fingers crossed that is the end of it,but she is still being watched for any other signs.

Very pleased your daughter is doing well....so many unexplained things going on nowadays!

Take her to a N.U.C.C.A. specialist ...there are only 22 in the world ..an instructor would be best.

@MsMotherbug So far everything is looking good,she is being monitored but there seems to be no worries about her development etc.

@5566Trish thank you and i'll keep your little sweetheart in my prayers that she will be just fine and i agree there are a lot of unexplained things going on and doctors dont have any answers it seems like doctors just want the easy way out of things and all kids in their eyes have the same thing because they just dont want to do the research

my niece had a VERY similar mannerism and she's fine.

The're are highly successful people who have an official diagnosis or show traits of autism (high functioning). The diagnose could be a positive thing. Just look at how many people on the autism spectrum have stand out from the rest! Most importantly, they stood up not "in spite of", but "because of" their autism. Having autism gave them the tools to succeed. Dan Aykroyd, Michael Burry, US investment fund manager, James Durbin -finalist American Idol, Daryl Hannah, Gary Numan -British singer
