Like others, I’ve never come across this before and I hope your son has since stopped putting his hand down his throat.

I would talk to the GP about this. Yes sensory. Have you tried giving him tags. There’s a new tag cloth where kids have sensory to feeling tags. Try him with tags on clothing etc first. Is his develop going great or low side. Xx

Maybe try ignoring when he does it. Maybe it’s the attention from you that he’s loving, not the actual gagging. Could be worth a try

yeah maybe he wants a reaction or doesn’t realise that he will choke

  i hope that this stage has passed!

No idea! Have never heard of kids doing this before.

You posted your story a year ago and I am hoping you were able to find help for this. Are things ok now?

Have you discussed this with your GP or local Child and Youth Health Nurse? It could be symptomatic of something else? (My youngest has an ASD.) best wishes.

me 2 im not sure why he would like to do this.
