Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Rhonda, We all feel for you. May we know what supps you are giving him? AND when this started had you given any new supplements? I'm a 50 year old woman. I have never head banged in my life until about 4 years ago. I will never forget it. I had taken a supplement I believe it was cat's claw. I absolutely head banged for about 30 minutes. I took my bedroom door and kept smashing it on my forehead. I intellectually knew what I was doing but HAD to do this behavior BECAUSE it felt BETTER than what I was feeling in my brain. That's the only way I can describe it. I've never done it since. It was not frustration for me, although it might be for your son. I have experienced since becoming very poisoned, (14 fillings, vaccines at 40, rogham shots, etc.) an inability at times to find words, then missed opportunities to enter conversations. Very frustrating. I could see how that kind of inability could cause a bright, trapped person to do that. However I really banged when it was very specific die off reaction, IMO. We are here for you day and night. It will get better. Persevere. Chelation made dramatic changes in my life and brain. So did anti-fungals. I am getting much better currently with diflucan (200 mgs @ day) and nystatin (500,000 iu.s) @ day. And I can tolerate the red nystatin pill. Miracle. Andy's way is safest. And works... hands down. I am a living miracle. Be well. God is greater. Alison F. I'm an artist. See if you can get your child to draw their feelings, with sketch book and crayons. Not necessarily pictures, but what is he feeling inside. Draw the pain or the problem. When I was much more locked up and thoughts didn't match words, I could still draw. And the drawings were very telling. At the least it's an avenue to get what's inside out for others to perceive his exsistence. Whatever turns him on and he loves...do more!!!! Hugging, flowers, soft blankets. Whatever, give him what he needs to hold onto and continue to strive for. Love from loved ones works wonders. Got any pets? Something about I believe the healthy mitochondria a pet has, goes through us, and when we lack that energy, hugging a pet transfers good energy, with no expectations to return. Sometimes one may feel the pain of the parents need to communicate with the child that just gets too over bearing. All about what's he feeling. Be well. There is a way out. Chelate. Hang in there, expect the healing. 3a. SELF ABUSE...My beautiful boy is beating his head and biting his fis Posted by: " Rhonda " designbybuess@... mymomsaysiamthebestdesigner Date: Tue Dec 2, 2008 10:19 am ((PST)) My little 6 year old autistic boy who used to just throw tantrums by screaming is now (for the last 4 months) beating his head (temples) with his fists when he doesn't get what he wants, when he is hurting, when he just disagrees with you, when he doesn't understand. He is also biting his wrist to where it has left a big callus and at one point bled. He has 40 hour-week ABA therapy and the therapists try to prevent this, but it is escalating! Does anyone have any ideas? I can't stand to watch this beautiful little boy hurt himself, leaving bruises all over his face He is under the care of a great DAN doc but we just recently did a ton of tests and are waiting for the results. If anyone has any ideas in the meantime, I would love some input. Thank you, Rhonda (mother of 2 boys with Autism, oldest with chronic seizures for the last 7 years...both typical before vaccinations!)
