we are grossed out by this behavior... fed up with the words pouring out every day...
meds isn't working... strategies... social stories... no...
my son also has traits of ADHD and a lot of his issues manifests due to impulses getting through too easily.
and yes... we have tried both methods: 1.tell him to stop and 2.ignore it...

My heart goes out to you ((((((( Nina ))))))))
and your son who I know you love dearly.
Children with severe autism/aspergers can display disturbing behaviour as you have described. I have worked with autistic children and found the best method was to teach them to use other distractions instead. It takes a lot of patience. With autism they are not aware of other people's feelings or what is or isn't socially acceptable. It needs to be taught,(repetition, over and over) with patience and understanding from their point of view. And yes you need caring professionals to help you.
