Hi everyone, I pick my skin (scalp) and pull out my hair as a self soothing activity, I am autistic and an Occupational Therapist said I will never stop until I find something to replace it with. I h,ave tried fidget toys as a replacement and they don't give the same feeling of satisfaction, relaxation, calm and enjoyment. I don't do this to intentionally hurt myself, but it does damage my body as my scalp bleeds. Can anyone explain to me why it feels so good, and what a replacement could be? Thanks.
