My heart breaks reading this. I can't imagine how much it must break your heart as a parent to see that.

 

You know I never connected that it might be connected but my ds has always hit himself, not really to hurt himself but I think as an outlet almost like he is beating his chest like a gorilla when he is frustrated and upset... but he never does this outside of the house... he will also hit his head when he feels he is not being treated fairly... but once again, all only at my house or my parents house.. never in public and not really where he is hurting himself. Almost his way of not hitting someone else. I really never considered it self injurious but now I do wonder if it is connected to any of this pandas stuff now that I am reading some of your descriptions.
