Advice needed

Try water therapy get a big bowl of water take him outside and let him put little toys that fit and ask him to see which sinks and which floats. I have an eight year old who is ADHD and high functioning autistic and he has literally asked to do water therapy when he starts having the “big feelings” (meltdown)

I had to teach my son to 'kick the air, not mommy, daddy or grandma'. So for diaper changes, I'd say 'Okay! Your turn! Kick the air! Kick Kick Kick!' Then 'okay mommy's turn! Legs down please!' And then change the diaper. Also teaches taking turns!

Also, is baby getting enough iron? I recently spiraled after watching an IG post about baby having too much milk, the calcium blocks iron absorption and one of the symptoms of iron deficiency is Restless Leg Syndrome! So we stopped the nighttime bottles immediately just 2 days ago, and he has less kicking tantrums when he's trying to fall asleep.

Good luck mama!

So the spinning is going to offer him vestibular input, but it sounds like he's seeking proprioceptive input. If you look up those terms and activities for each type of input, you'll get lots of options.

But, basically, he would probably do better with jumping (on a trampoline/bed/couch or maybe even OFF of the couch onto cushions on the floor) than with spinning to meet the sensory need.
