luluandneil

hey all was just wondering if anyone else has anything simular my toddler seems to burst into fits of laughter and giggles that he cant control just out the blue, he arches his back and looses full control of his body to point we have to hold him up so dont hurt him self he looks up with  both eyes why doing it then just gets up once its over, at first i thought was cute he was just happy only as he only did it ocassinally maybe once or twice week. But now its more like 2 or 3 times a day he doesnt seem to be fitting or anything just when does it he has no control and im scared he hurt him self is this normal behavour with autism? Or is it his way playing and communicating? God see things just al off a sudden apperaring just when i think im finally starting to understand then a whole new obstacle threw in my face lol

  • hi - is your son verbal?  My son, from an early age, used to "go into kinks".  All he was doing was thinking of something that amused him.  Because he has strong emotions, he would double up with laughter + it wd last longer.  If he didn't explain what it was we just presumed he was remembering something he found funny.  Altho an adult now, he can still be "tickled pink" with memories going way back which he still finds hilarious.  Unless you think he's semi-conscious or similar, then what I've described may be what he's doing.  If you're worried that it's more than a case of massive giggles, which he hasn't informed you about in advance, then see a doctor.  My son has always had strong positive and negative emotions.
