My girl head bangs a lot and has constant seizures. 2 grand mals just this past month. We truly believe she has frontal love damage. We are stuck and at a loss of what is causing her need to head bang and what's causing her seizures.<br /><br />On the subject of wandering. We know this all too well also. shes wandered off a couple times. Two years ago she wandered out of the house while her mother was in the other room during a blizzard and shes allergic to the cold. luckily she just walked to our local convenience store and police found her right away. But she had to cross a busy street and the snow was bad. Just last month she had a meltdown head banging and slapping the walls and all at a doctors office and stormed out. Thinking she would calm down after the elevator but she bolted out the front doors dropping her iPad and jacket running straight into traffic. I dropped everything too and ran after to her. I caught up to her before the car hit her and she seemed frazzled and as I was turning around pulling her by her zip up hoodie she bolted again. I quickly ran to get our stuff before they were stolen and jumped in the car cuz I just knew I wouldn't catch her on foot. Drove around looking for her and just before I was about to call reinforcements I saw her walking near the woods completely unaware of what happened. Shits scary.
