My child sits on the floor with her legs under her bottom and rocks, rhythmically, until very red facially and sweaty. She has done this since she was able to sit, and can not stop, she will stop when someone enters the room, because I have always asked her to stop and at times have chastised her for the behaviour, due to my lack of understanding. Also she has other behaviours that I consider 'weird'. She will bite herself until she is bruised and tantrums over the slightest things in an uncontrollable fashion, daily, it is as though she is unable to control herself when she gets upset over the slightest, meaningless things, yesterday she threw herself on the ground in the playground at school just because i asked her to carry her book bag, she was rolling in leaves and screaming. If any one can relate to any of this behaviour...please help!
