Crawling on floor

NAS75657

My Son who is nine and able bodied, crawls on the floor or bottom when we’re out sometimes usually in quiet open spaces.  Does anyone’s else’s children do this and what can I do to stop it please?

Parents

  • If it is in quiet open spaces, is it a much of a problem? If he is ruining clothing or footwear it could be a financial problem. It may be sensory seeking, the feel of grass on the hands, being able to look at things from unusual angles etc. If he is verbal, why not ask him why he does it? Autistic people can get pleasure out of their surroundings in ways that are unusual for non-autistic people.
