when he is mad or gets punished, he also sometime pushes the walls.

My two year old went throught that phase right about then - he's just trying to see what you will do. If he bangs his head, will you give in? Once he gets the message that you won't he'll finally stop - only to find another way to try to manipulate you (lol!).
I would only worry about autism or bi polar if the behavior does not stop after a while. If it starts to concern you, talk to your pedi.
I see that someone posted a link to babycenter - free subscription, try it. They have lots of info.

My daughter used to tear her ear up when she would get mad.
Also kids have no way of saying "Mommy my head hurts." He could be in pain and not know how to tell you so he hits his head on the wall, floor or desk. I would take my concerns to the doctor.
Its frustrating to say the least but you will get through this and then there will be something else.

I believe in well-balanced discipline; it's necessary in the life of a child if he/she is to grow up stable and secure, but I can't tell from here how you discipline your son. Is it fair for the circumstances? Is it consistent? Does he understand why he is being disciplined? Could it simply be a tantrum because he didn't get his way?
I agree he is displaying frustration and/or anger towards you and/or towards himself. What is happening in his environment?
I suggest you do have him examined to rule out any sort of physical problems. If he has a clean bill of health, you may want to consider counseling to learn what the problem is and how to handle it.

Tell him to stop. And then teach him a different way to react. My brother used to do that until he had goose eggs on his head from hitting the wall. My mom had to teach him to stop.

You should take him to a doctor. I had a cousin that would do that she is deaf but they enrolled her in a school along with kids who had down syndrome and she would imitate what the kids did.. But if your son is doing it on his own the best thing to do is take him to his pedetrician.

My son does that and he is 3. He was diagnoise with sensory integration disorder so that could be why he does that. I would have him tested by a child psycologist.

some kids - especially young children- do this because they don't have the words yet to say they are angry or upset
ignore the behavior when he acts this way, but protect him from injury and try to help him learn other ways to express himself
check out this article from babycenter.com - I hope it helps!

Not to scare you or anything, but that is an early symptom of autism. You really need to talk to his pediatrician about this.

Don't listen to these other answers of him being autistic or bipolar--all kids express their anger in different ways.
