I have been short term subbing in a sped pre-school setting. One of the children is a non-verbal ASD kid. Today he pulled me in for what I thought was a hug, instead he grabbed and pinched my skin on my arms so hard that I have bruises. He wasn't angry. After that he tried to gab me again, I gently told him "no pinching" and noticed that he was squeezing his own hands. I re-directed him with play doh. He persisted throughout the day trying to grab everything and squeeze it with his hands. Is this a sensory thing? Any suggestions for dealing with him for the rest of the week? Thank you
