If you're talking about self-harm you should say so

Wel if you count games of who can take the most pain like i sometimes do with friends.
Than yes.
But it's just for jokes, and they don't have authism.
So if you mean i do it out of some weird desire than nah.

I would vote for 'sometimes on accident'. But since this poll isn't very varied... :roll:

I read that some people do self harm because they are very depressed. So I figured that detracting pain of depression by using physical pain would actually work. Then I remembered that acupuncture can detract pain one experiences on a part of their body by creating a small one by use of needles.

Acupuncture came about by accident when someone who had a permanent migraine got shot by an arrow and the arrow cured his migraine.

The OP should know that among Aspies, you will be the cause of annoyance if you are not specific! (No offense meant.)

Actually, it's clear to me that it's not clear to others thast that was what you meant. "hurting yourself" could mean nail-biting to the point of blledin, pulling out your hair, burning or bruising yourself, or it could mean the aspie tendency to find random bruises that you ahve no idea where the hell they came form (I KNOW it's not only me that does this). However I'll assume it's a theory-of-mind issue going on that you don't understand this.

If you smoke or fry yourself on the beach all day you could be seriously injuring yourself

Occassionally. Haven't for a while. I think I'm getting over it gradually.
