Many times children with autism have some challenging behavior for parents
and those working with them.
We have often heard that some children do not like being with clothes inside
the house, seeking to leave the house aimlessly, who may be no limit to the
risk of being attacked by car, requiring monitoring inside and outside the
house, making restless movements of a sudden, crying during the day or
night, who beat parents, siblings, teachers when they are told NO, which
causes them change behavior disorders, which always need to be loaded, which
is to repeat the same words or ask them, they are hurting themselves or
others by hitting, scratching, biting, throwing things, making things like
rows of shoes, bottles, who are jumping from one place to another and not
concentrate to learn, which makes physical contact with other children in
inappropriate ways such as pushing, hitting, throwing things, which have no
patience to wait or taking turns, sharing, some of them like to spend all
his time on the water, some eat all the time without control or just eat
something specific, do not understand simple orders or complicated, etc, etc
etc..
The above are some behaviors that occur sometimes in children and adults
with autism and a lot of this behavior causes stress for parents and
professionals who work with them. How can we help our children in these
behaviors? Do we understand what is happening? How the people with autism
understand the world?. These are some questions to be resolved at the
