Compulsive Skin Picking in Autism

IntenseWorld

My eldest daughter has this really bad, I also do it and so does my youngest.  They didn't copy it from me because I never did it in front of them, it was self-initiated.  I believe there is a strong correlation between CSP and autism, like there is in OCD behaviours.  Just wanted to see if any others on the spectrum have this.

  • Sorry I stopped mis post because I was in the gp waiting room on my way home just now I will finish off soon.  

    Bits sort owrapping your arms across your self and patting your self like wings flapping it might not suit an older child though,  my little one is 8 but very young. We have had on going issues with bullying which is when the picking is at its worst fortunately Ks school have been fantastic completely caring and supported.  Like ywe talked about moving schools and would have if the teachers hadn't been so goodies.
