Can't run from trauma

he already established it was autism Hun

Is this trauma based

@Husky - keep up

PTSD wouldn't really cause this

Started after the death of a dog.

This is a new behavior we are being told

Wouldn't necessarily make it PTSD

As someone with high functioning autism and has attended a school for the austistic these are things I'd see been acted out regularly

I'm around those with autism and the such when I'm working

they love to bowl

I never said it definitely was PTSD btw - just that a new symptom of self-harm in an 18 year old that starts after the death of a pet is consistent with PTSD.

Usually it's when he's told something he doesn't like

or something works him up

That's a trait I see in autism quite a lot

Well, I wish him the best

we get people with down syndrome and stuff at our bowling alley

thank you

Yea

We get the ones with Down syndrome, autism and the such

I know a kid who would Inact something similar whenever a tv with a yellow main charter was mentionrd

they're all generally pretty well behaved

Depends

yeah

I am one

I was adding on to my previous statement

the ones I deal with are generally well behaved and very nice. There's one that comes regularly that will lash out sometimes

Starts kicking equipment, yelling, hitting his care taker

Anyone want a Steam key for Space Run Galaxy? I'm not interested.

I've been schooled with kids like that

none of our autists ever lash out and in fact they seem to be better at bowling than me, although this is just my case, i cant say anything for other people

they really like bowling

I find that too

we do have this one older guy who comes in and I'm not sure what he has

But he puts personalities into objects

Talks to himself as if he is a different person

I know this one kid who is pretty cool mostly but when he looses something even remotely competitive he has massive freak outs

I used to be like that but I got better

I would be alright with this guy if he wasn't so annoying

Or stole from us

yeah one of the people at school just steals things
