Autism

  Children with autism sometimes show self-stimulation.  A lot of self-stimulation involves swishing saliva, twirling an object, patting one's cheeks, flapping one's hand, and staring at lights and shadows.  When children with autism are self-stimulating, they don't get involved with other children and they don't talk or play with other children a lot.

   They sometimes act shy or that is how it seems.  But sometimes they will talk to you or they might even play a game with you, like tag or hide-and-go seek!  They like to play active games, they like to communicate!


These kids are playing with foam balls in P.E.  They are soft so they won't hurt anyone.
