This sounds like ADHD and sensory processing disorder. I wonder if a neuropsych

eval or an OT or behavior therapist that is familiar with sensory issues.Diane

Subject: 7 year old Son keeps banging his head on wall

Has anyone had experience with their child banging their head on the walls

when frustrated? We notice it more when we increase our sons seizure

medication. One of our behavior neurologists put our son on Effexor which

helped for a while. We have used a soft helmet. When we put it on him he stops

banging his head. It must be behavioral but we don't always want to keep a

helmet on our son. Any ideas?

Thanks

Im sorry you are going through this.  I cant provide any help- other than to say

I know you are holding in there as best you can, searching for a reason or

solution, its all incredibly hard for all of us.  Maybe im over-sharing in an

inappropriate place.  I only know my 10 year old son (with PMG) gets angry and

frustrated throughout the day.  He also wakes up almost every-night this season,

playing, in the dark.  He only hits the wall repeatedly when he has to pee or

poop.  Or if hes hungry at 6 AM.  Im probably no help.  Just sharing.
