Autistic behaviors - son stimming

Noah a year or two ago in his room, "stimming" or coming down from sensory overload. He used to make a lot of this sound.....for a long time.....it was like a meditative "om" to him. He would also repeatedly move objects close to the corners of his eyes and move it slow and deliberately back and forth over and over again. I called this "scoping". This is a sampling of that behavior.

@DoraBieber1 He does not stim like this as much as he did back then no. He does not make nearly the sounds he used to...but will from time to time. He does still have to almost always have a ruler in his hands and manipulate it around...but he does not always run objects back and forth across his eyes and peripheral field of vision as he did in the past. I would say his ways of self-soothing or stimming are a lot less noticeable or obvious now.

@DoraBieber1 yes he is more high functioning....improves all the time...did not start out that way though...he was over 5 years old before he really started to talk and then it was difficult to understand him. He used lots of intelligible sounds mixed in with a few words

@DoraBieber1 yes he does...I make sure there is nothing horrific left here that is why I (his mom) have to see the comments before approving them. You would not believe some of the comments I have received. Noah is now approaching 13 years of age...so these videoclips were from a long time ago in his life...and he has progressed so much ...most would probably not realize he is the same kid these days. Thanks for your comments and visit!

@BirdOfParadise777  WHY do you even talk?

My son does the same sound, when playing with his trains and cars. He also does a visual stimming, and has hypoactive sensory.

@BirdOfParadise777 and not sure also why you think I took anything harshly....I don't believe I answered in any capacity to display any such emotional response...haha...I am sorry for laughing now but I just cannot imagine having nothing else to worry about other than these types of things ....I just cannot even fathom that or understand why anyone would let it bother them to the point you have. Hope I was able to answer your questions to your satisfaction. Have a good one!

@BirdOfParadise777 Not sure what you are talking about here...I have approved your comments...I do not check in here very often so sometimes they do not get approved for a period of time...but I do approve them..unless there is bad language or something in a comment...because my son who is now 12 does read the comments left here

@racham1 Thank you for the information. I think I should communicate with other people who have posted videos though. It seems here that even though the comments are set to approval only- the person who left a nasty comment for me, you posted. I suppose because they accused me of attacking you. So, you obviously feel attacked when asked questions and feel you need those "supporters." Ok. No problem. Won't bother you again. I'll ask questions of others who post similar videos. Thank you again.

@racham1 Thank you for answering my questions. Seems that you took it- harshly. It wasn't meant that way! If I would have realized you were touchy about it, I wouldn't have asked questions. Maybe it's better if I ask questions of other people who have posted videos. Sorry to have bothered you.
