Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi Ginny, Do you know why you were biting your hand & screaming? If you know why, then you should ask for help to make it better. I'm sure you don't like doing those things either. Maybe seeing a sensory aware OT (occupational therapist) would help, if it's a sensory issue. You might say something like " _______ was bothering me, so I needed to bite my hand to distract me from that " , or " My _________ was hurting & that's why I was screaming.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Nothing was hurting me and I was biting my hand because I was thinking bad thoughts. I was going crazy. I was waking people up and upsetting people. Â Please..someone tell me how to be pleasant. ________________________________ To: Autism_in_Girls_and_Women Sent: Friday, January 13, 2012 1:03 PM Subject: Re: How can I be pleasant...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ginny, how about going to counseling to help deal with the bad thoughts & to help you stop hurting yourself. Sounds like you need some outside help to deal with these problems & you need an alternative way. Have you tried a hot bath to try to relax with some epsom salts? Sleep with a heavy blanket/comforter to add weight? Jump on a trampoline (a small room size one). Watch a dvd?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Reg Reynolds Ginny, you can try getting a rubber band, putting it around your wrist, and snapping it whenever you do something unpleasant.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
