I have one question. Is he hitting himself because he wants to hurt himself or because he cannot help it?

I agree. It seems many times our son has had his worst self injurious meltdowns, I can trace it back to impacted bowels or caregivers NOT feeding him what I’ve said to feed him and he gets constipated and sick. He’s not this skinny right now. We’ve got his weight up with power purrees. But I am in TOTAL agreement that there is something going on with bowels in many autistic people that is causing a lot of pain.

Biomed can help your son, you are right about his gut. You are right to be pissed for 17yrs of no answers. Biomed should give you some.

ps, lamictal just was studied and linked with seeping folate from the brain, maybe that is why he is hitting his head?

I still think it’s all in the brain and gut….

And until I seen this video I felt completely ALONE in this way of life. My son is 18 years old, does the self pain inflicting thing and yet some days he doesn’t. I have him on NO medications what so ever. I don’t believe in the long term use of them that they do any good, but more harm to their already ‘senstive’ systems. I do however give my son vitamin D3 which calms him down and helps him sleep many times, I also give him Calcium/Magnesium powder
