Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 My boys have never pulled out their hair, but Braden does hit his head against objects or hit his head with his hands when he's frustrated and having a meltdown. So far I haven't done anything about it (aside from getting him psychological counseling to teach him how to control his temper) because he doesn't really hurt himself. Kathy Bradley does the exact same thing. I told him to stop it and explained the damage a concussion will do to your brain. Always with the scientific stuff. LOL!!! He decided he didn't want to kill any brain cells and become " dumb " . So he rarely does it anymore. Occasionally, he still does it, like when we were on the airplane and he started to freak out - he started banging his head on the back of the seat. I stopped him. Usually, when I say " Stop banging your head. " He will stop. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 twists his eyebrows until they break off. What's left of them sticks out and down. Usually the left side. He's going to get teased about it in high school. This thread is actually timely because I am going to point that fact out to him today. That usually works. / 4makelas@...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 > I know hair pulling is common in lower functioning ASD kids but my > very high functioning 6 year old has started pulling his hair when > frustrated. Do any of your kids hair pull and what do you do? Pulling it out is an OCD condition. Tugging could be sensory. I will tug when I have a headache. It seems to help. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 > my sonwent thru a faze where he was constantly twirling his hair hes prettymuch grown out of it > Ingrid Ingrid, My NT daughter started twirling her hair last summer, just before first grade. She would twirl it so much that she would put knots in it. When she started first grade, we'd get her dressed and ready for school, I'd get her in the car, hair combed and neat, and by the time I got her to school, there would be a knot in her hair! LOL! It made me nuts. But I realized that the more I focused on it, the more she did it, so I just got her hair cut a little shorter so it wouldn't knot as much and stopped commenting on it. At the November teacher's conference, near the end of the conference the teacher said to me jokingly, " I have to ask you, are you able to get a comb through her hair at the end of the school day? " Well, somewhere along the way she just stopped doing it. And I have no intention of reminding her of it because she might just start up again.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Bad behavior in children is in Timed therapies, music & superlearning//timed treatment//enable//bad behavior in children. The other issues are emotional and need to be looked at in NLP. Also, there is a direct link with this emotion from a mineral & chemical imbalance. So I would be checking hormones, minerals, chemicals, toxins and allergies. To name just a few. There are many more possibilities to links here including digestive issues and the top pathogens, miasms, vaccines, and DNA disruptions.
