  Case: Self-abuse
I have an ESE student that hits himself in the head at random. He also bangs his for arms on the bottom of the desk. I am new to this student, and I am trying out some new techniques with him. One of his teachers has told me that he is doing these behaviors for attention. I would like to pursue some other avenues in order to explore his intentions. Do I listen to the veteran teacher, or do I follow my instincts?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have a student that does this as well. My CT tells me it is because he is on the Autism spectrum. She suggests, trying to make sure he is fully engaged in lessons, and if you notice the student hitting them self, then to find a way to gently redirect them back to the lesson.

Comments: Each person is different. Though this could help a bit, also talk to his parents and see if there is anything else. Do not just blame it on him being on the spectrum.
