My daughter has recently started biting her arms over the past few weeks. She has many bruises on her arms which some are swollen. They range from big to small little ones and look very painful. She had to be held because of this yesterday in school. They explained that she was biting with extreme force so they held her to stop her. She's never done this before and I'm lost on what to do. Like, how do I prevent the worst injuries as much as I can without touching her because that makes it worse?
Music also helped me with my anxiety never leave home without my noise canceling headphones now
She takes her ear defenders to school and listens to music at home all the time and school ask her if she wants music every now and again
Yeah I've found music the best remedy so far exercise helps district me from my anxiety too as in work out to the point where I feel physical pain from that as it's healthier alternative to the self harming but understand why some of us on spectrum probably get more anxity due to going to a gym as again it's public spaces and stuff so you kind of feel like your being judged there I guess to but again partly why I bring my headphones to help drown out the conversations around me so my anxiety doesn't kick in as much once I'm focused on music. For me it's metal and punk as I like to focus on the complexity of the rifts and helps me exspress my emotions when I strugel to do so otherwise.
