My son will be 5 in July and I have a concern about a new onset of what appears to be involuntary arm flapping along with simple vocal noises(e.g., ahhh), ... My daughter is a hand flapper.

Archives of Autism-PDD Forums and message boards from user posts. ... old does the hand flapping or he will rub his fingers together while contorting his mouth.
