What Causes Rapid Movements Of Head Towards Left And Right Side In An Autistic Child?

My son is a high functioning autistic 7 yr old that started last week shaking his head left and rt side to side. At first he said it was a head ache, then the next day he said it was fine but the head shaking was still there. Every time I ask him why he is doing that or if he is ok he gets upset because he does not know why or can t find the words to explain why. Should I take him to see the Dr.?
