There is not too much I can`t answer! If it is more of a medical question, I wouldn`t want to answer and give wrong information! I am no doctor.

Experience
I have an 8 year old Autistic boy at home and I also work with a 15 year old Autistic boy at a Public High School.

Follow-Ups to Answer from Expert Denise Burnett

Due to the alcohol level in hand sanitizers this advice can be a very harmful solution to your child's hand licking. Many children have been taken to the ER because they have licked/consumed hand sanitizer. So I would advise you NOT to use this as a method to stop the stemming.

May I suggest using something besides hand sanitizer? Even if ingested in small amounts, it contains enough alcohol to hurt a small child.
