Behaviorally, he thrives on a schedule of activities, and food is a major reinforcer for him, he does well with the "if then, this first then that" principle. He tends to communicate through his behaviors: physical aggression toward others (staff, because they can't figure out with him what he wants); SIB (hitting self, banging head, scratching self) because he's not feeling well, he's frustrated; disrobing (when he's hot, or he just seems to have sensory issues that particular day). Behaviors appear to be linked to his health: when he has allergies, constipated, ear infection, tooth aches. If he is a possible fit in your ICFDD please contact SSA for further information.
