Aggressive behaviors
Aggressive behaviors are one of the biggest struggles that parents of Autism children face, but unfortunately, we have to “eliminate the behavior”.
The problem is, aggression in Autism children isn’t as simple as them misbehaving, and some tactics are actually likely to make the aggression worse.
See, Autism children are never aggressive for no reason.
But just because they have a reason doesn’t mean that we can just ignore the aggression and hope it goes away.
Steps to Deal with Aggression in Autism Children
