Agressive Behavior
Sometimes kids with autism tend to get over excited. They tend to run around in circles or scream. Other times, kids with autism get very violent because they do not have a way to communicate. Not every child has the problem although it comes up in most parents stories.The last thing you want to do is give in and let your child beat you up. Your therapist will will recognize the problem. One strategy is to put a reward system on risk.That eliminates all the problem. The therapist can mix things up a bit and put a reward system on socializing with peers and staff. This is a smart move. Putting a base in the child's life helps children organize their brains. Children with autism lack organization. To them life is a bunch of random activities squished into one day. A schedule is also good too. It guide children through their day without being as clueless. Sequencing is a big life skill that every child has to learn. This is a lesson that changes their lives. To reinforce the child's sequencing skills. In the end this leaves the child less confused. It takes away a lot of the stress that goes on. Always ask your therapist how your child is doing to be informed. The therapist will usually give you a very detailed description on the child's work and maybe an activity to do at home. Always continue the schedule and the reward system at home.

I continue to be amazed about how much you have learned about this subject. Granted, you are my daughter, so I am biased. Where did this interest in autism come from? You don't have autistic siblings or friends, what is it about autistic children that resonates with you? Congrats on another informative post!
