[QUOTE="pattyb, post: 505104, member: 13784"] Does this sound familiar to anyone? We have a 4-year-old son diagnosed with a mood disorder, with anxious features. Autism has been ruled out but one psychologist described the hand postures, finger twisting, rigid-type finger posturing, as 'autistic-like' even though she did not believe he is on the spectrum. We haven't seen this talked about as far as mood disorders but I am not sure. I am wondering if it sounds like a pediatric bipolar or mood disorder symptom? It's not repetitive, more of just rigid sometimes claw-like hand/knuckle positions he seems to do unknowingly. He also does strange hand postures right in front of his eyes, almost like making a glasses shape with his hands or just putting his hands in front of his face and seeming to stare through them, when he is calming down after a meltdown or sometimes while having a meltdown. Thanks for any info! [/QUOTE]
