Severe autism and self injurious behavior

[dclark12553]

I feel sorry for this boy, and wish I could help. I know alot about autism, and know how it feels to be autistic.

I have autism myself and only hit myself when i am angry, or upset about something

@dclark12553 That is interesting. I know of many higher functioning autistics who self abuse. It shows you there are many shared traits, despite the differences on spectrum. I hope you are doing well. I'd like to share that since July of this year, we asked doctor to try nicotine patch to elevate choline in his brain (he was deficient on an fMRI). Nicotine patch has definately helped him with focus, mood and he's not punching himself so hard, he's more easily directed. Ask you doctor about it.

Thanks for sharing video. My son has self-injurious behaviors, too - not as severe. Please check out King's video and share with others.
