PICA need help with self injurious PICA behaviors
by deester_s, Jul 14, 2008 10:51AM
I have a 9year old daughter who has Autism, ADHD and PICA. Since she was little she would chew on her blankets which didn't cause a problem really. About a year ago it started with biting the nails finger and toe nails. It has now moved to a new level. She is tearing strips of her skin off the pads of her fingers and under her big toe and chewing them. She typically doesn't swallow. What can I do about this. She is currently on Vyvance, Clonidine and Melatonin.
