Video documenting Autistic boy's return to family home after being INJURED in group home. Use of soft restraints temporary, acute intervention as last resort, when less aversives interventions aren't working, to protect bodily harm, Complex case. Multiple antecedents fluctuate daily. Continual need for homestasis. Slightest discomforts, disruption in routines, rituals, gustatory or auditory insults trigger self injury SIB. High maintence case. Requires 2:1 staffing PRN (as needed). Intelligent. Shows remarkable memory, even though often seems in his own world. Acute visual perceptions. High olfactory senses.

I know full well what self injury is and believe me it ain't pretty.
It sure don't feel good!!!!! Something I know all to well!!!

The medical facility apparently didn't know how to best help your son. I've heard of Autism, but I've never known about how severe some of them can be. I have a second cousin who has Autism, but nothing like this.

dude this is sad...

i used to work with SIB (biting self) before but different than your son

i have worked with individuals similar to your son and even more severe individuals (14-21 yrs old) and it is possible for them to follow directions and stop the SIB (self injurious behavior) head hits or other forms of SIB. I know I don't know your son's history and what other factors are involved, but I have worked with and have seen progress with MANY different individuals. Don't loose hope! And I do not believe in the use of shock treatment to do so or any other inhumane treatments.

I think he has a lot to say. Has he been involved in a communication strategy, like perhaps the Rapid Prompting Method? I think he is frustrated cause he wants to communicate more. :)

he is very limited in all areas. He does not follow directions or understand a lot of things and he is the most severist of the autim spectrum. thanks through for giving us ideas. :)
