Head-banging is one of the common behaviour in Autism. However, it is crucial to understand the root cause of this behaviour and identify ways to handle a similar situation. 

Consider the following situation: 

Varun is 8 years old and recently started having trouble going to bed. He has recently started banging his head and being self-injurious and does it several times a day. Mom and dad try to read him books and calm him down, but nothing is working.

How should a parent handle this situation?

Browse through the slideshow above to understand the root cause of head-banging behaviour in Autism.
