Hello,
Welcome to HCM
As per your history your son is moving his hands all the time,this is not a normal phenomenon,this may be a condition called hemiballismus.
So.i would suggest you to consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
As your son is doing conversations with someone who is not present,he may be suffering from visual hallucinations.
I would suggest you to consult a psychiatrist for further evaluation.
Thank you.
