"There are times when stimming is self injurous and harmful, such as headbanging, but it is still not wrong or challenging behaviour, but is an indication of the autistic person’s unmet needs, anxiety and need for regulation and often co regulation."
My involuntary headbanging happens after overwhelm, frustration to a point of mental shutdown, my body headbashes, reflexive to stuff that other people shove into my life and environment.
My body instinctively goes into being the injured bird.
