hitting one's head? autism's location in the brain?

Post Reply New Topic

i had a total meltdown last night, and started hitting my head, first with both fists, then a heavy hairbrush (after i calmed down i started brushing my hair, then started hitting again)..

i was interested to note that i kept on hitting the same place- about equidistant between my right eye and right ear.

i know hitting one's head is somewhat common in autism- but do people hit them selves anywhere on their head, or in particular points?

is my right frontal lobe in some way related to autism?

or is this simply because i am right handed?
