Self-injurious Behaviors Anyone else randomly hit themselves when thinking about anything?

Every once in a while I’ll be thinking about anything and I’ll randomly slap or scratch my face… I can’t stop it or anything but idk if it’s an autism thing, or if its just a random thing that I do…

i used to do that, now a lot rarer than usual because my mental health improved

not sure if it's an autistic trait, but certainly an unhealthy form of coping
