Screaming and Tantrums

Screaming and Tantrums

My son is 4 years old and autistic.  He is also nonverbal.  He gets bursts of energy where he screams will playing with an object.  They sound like happy entergetic screams.  They last any where from 5 minutes to ten.  He does this on and off from a half a day and sometimes all day.  It is ear piercing!  He also has huge tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants.  Latey he has added smacking his head.  I don't want him to hurt hiself.  Why is he doing these things and how can I stop it?
