ABSTRACT

We report the case of a five-year old boy with autism who demonstrated unanticipated increases in self-injurious behavior that had decreased following intervention. On these occasions, elevated self-injury was linked to physician diagnosed otitis media. The findings support an emerging clinical literature documenting possible negative effects from medical influences on challenging behaviors.
