Biting arms

ParentingAutism
over 2 years ago

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?

    Hello, 

    My son (now 20 and 'high functioning') started biting his arms as a teen. He was unhappy in school, very frustrated and it was almost like a form of self harm. He needed a release from what was going on in his body. He quickly moved setting and the biting stopped straight away.

    Hope you manage to find the root of the problem x
