 What is attention-seeking behavior in autism?

Attention seeking behaviour may include screaming, asking for things way too often (if they are verbal), throwing items, self-injurious behaviours like head-banging, scratching, crying, hitting, punching themselves, etc., and violence against others (Ibarra, 2019)
