My 4 year old autistic son started school in September - a stressful time! He has settled in really well and the school has been fantastic. However, he has recently started pulling hair - teachers and children and my own. He doesn't do it to cause harm - he likes the feel of hair and likes to put it in his mouth (he doesn't actually eat it though). He went through a phase of doing this at nursery but then it seemed to calm down until the last few weeks. My little boy doesn't talk so can't communicate his needs/wants. Does anyone have any suggestions to stop this?
Any advice/support would be much appreciated. Thank you.
