That's an autistic thing isn't it ?

Well

the Neurologist said it was a Neurological problem

No - autism isn't defined at all by self harm

I know a lot of austistic people and a lot of them do that when the strested

thought you were just shitposting

sorry

but he learned that it also gives him attention from my parents

so he sometimes does it intentionally, considering he can't talk well or show emotion normally

but that's what my parents say

Idk why he does it, I know the Neurologist is right, but the times where he seems like he intentionally does it, Idk

that is never fun

well

guess the "help" we're getting is fucking shit

PTSD can't be easily dealt with, and neither is Autism.

Don't think PTSD would give a person speech issues

I'm not talking about autism

No he is Autistic, but he has another issue to

PTSD caused by the loss of a close pet or family member. Total suckage

but the thing that has me pissed is my family won't help calm him down when he does that

Yeah, most people aren't equipped to deal with that

Are you calming him down?

I Fucking tried

they're calming him now

Physical touch sometimes helps, distractions can work. Nothing is guaranteed
