Hey Dr. Khalil Lakho,
Thank you for you interesting question. I have never had a question from a doctor before.
If you want to know how an Autistic incividual can reduce their hyper behaviors? One would have to begin by engaging him with activities and interests which lie within his interest. We call it our special interest. Our special interst means things that we like and choose to engage in that stimilates us over a period of time. Observe what he can sit and do for a long time. If you can not discover one, those bounce balls that light up and flash is a favorite of mine and of others on the Autism spectrum.
