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.

  • Hi all, my son is 5 and on the autistic spectrum,  a few month ago he had a touch of dry skin cos he suffers from mild eczema , a couple of spots appeared and he won't stop picking them so they starting to heal then he's picking the scan off they going to end up scarring he's lovely little face, he likes to see the blood on he's finger! Can anyone recommend a good cream that helps them to heal fast or any suggestions on how to stop him from doing it. 

    Thanks
