Self harming

My autistic niece self harms, bangs her arms severely. Has anyone experienced this?

  • Many years ago after accidently burning myself I did burn I think to experience something physical to put against something emotional,- make it something tangible. This was years before any diagnosis or anything, and something i guess I put down to adolecense.

    It would be great if someone that shes close to could find out her thoughts and feelings which may help then address it.
