I wasn't totally positive about where to post this.
In my neurological report when I was diagnosed with Aspergers, it says "...stress-induced incidents of head-banging against the wall." First of all, I don't hit my head on the wall very often, I punch myself, but like most doctors, this one heard what he wanted to hear.
It seems common among people with Autism... at least, I've heard of it more in the "stereotyped" Autism (I'm thinking this is where the helmet jokes came from.) But is it common in all Autistic-Spectrum types?
I stopped doing it for a while...several months at least. It happened yesterday and today, unfortunately, due to extreme family stresses which are causing me the worst panic attacks I've ever had (I keep thinking it's a heart attack.) And I really don't want to keep doing this; I'm pretty sure I have brain damage.
