Hunter has ASD, this oral stim is a new stim for Hunter. It sounds like he is gasping for air and has asthma but he doesn't. It's sensory input that feels good to him so he does it. He tends to also develope new stims while coping with developement advancements. His expressive language increased recently so that would explain it. Sometimes he does it alot and other times not as much and very random. Our goal will be to work with him to stop him from doing this using positive reinforcement if it continues much longer. :)
