Autism and Aggression - Minimizing Your Child’s Anger
August 1st, 2010 | 
Author: 
Medication. This is the first recommendation given by medical professionals. If the child cannot control the anger on their own, the medication will help control it for them. Therapy. Sometimes the use of therapy is a positive alternative for the parent looking to seek help without medicating or further medicating their child. Triggers. It can also help as a parent to determine your child’s trigger points of aggression. By avoiding these potentially explosive situations you can circumvent having to cope with the aggression at all. Food Sources. Just like everything in their autistic world. Changes in behaviours and mannerisms can be triggered by things such as food sensitivities and allergies. Eliminating the food from their diet can help alleviate their aggression and make living with them easier.
Autism and aggression can be minimized if you keep in mind the special needs of your child and adapt situations to them to minimize their potential for anger. By changing the world around them you can allow them to live a healthier happier life.

People often say that the years between 10 and 13 are the most important years in a childs life as it defines their character, this includes aggression as well as confidence, so make them happy and feel safer in the future!

I don’t really remember what I have done between 10-13 years old back than, but I had a very unhappy school life. That might make me find it hard to trust people around me. I’m 21 now.

One doesn’t realise how lucky we are when our kids are ‘normal’ and naughty as they try out their boundaries. So often we get impatient with them when they are just being themselves.
My heart goes out to parents of children with Autism while I admire their dedication, love and perseverance

I admire parents of children with autism! They’re very dedicated in attending the special needs of their children. This is what we call unconditional love!

I think even if your child isn’t autistic and aggressive, As a Parent, you should guide them, guard them so that they’ll grow well and confident, and happy.

I think by trying to accept their existence outright would help them in interacting with the environment. Autism disease is not a problem if we become the solution existence of autistic children as their best friend

Thank you for this info. I have 3 kids 7,5 and 2. They generally get along really well but sometimes are mean to their younger brother b/c he can’t “play” with them exactly the way they would like him to.

Children need love. I agree with author.

Medication isn’t necessarily the answer every time a child with autism exhibits aggression. At times, these instances of aggression stems from the fact that autistic children have issues vocalizing/verbalizing their frustrations. You can’t just dope up your child every time he/she is angry. Try bridging that gap in communication, take up sign language, hell, show the child doodle with crayons to express what he/she is feeling!

I love how most of kid’s “misbehavior” or drive to play and explore is called ADHS and fiercely combated with Ritalin. That’s not necessarily going to make the world a better place if all our kids are drugged all day long and when they’re out of school, fall into deep depressions when the drugs they’re hooked on are taken from them.

Cool tips! I’ll keep em in mind the next time I have to deal with a autistic & aggressive child.

My heart and parents of children with autism and I envy their professionalism, love and perseverance

As what they’ve said, autistic children are those children with special needs. Having these kind of children really feel disappointing. But I think we need to be optimistic enough to understand this situation. We must believe that God gave them to us because He knows we can give the care and love that they are needed as a special one. I think this post is really good for those parents who blessed to have a special child. I do agree that they need to apply this one so that they will know how to deal with their lovely children when they are in their aggressive moments.

An autistic child is a special child with special needs and understanding..those tips mentioned above hopefully can contribute something to those parents who are experiencing this kind of problem.

An autistic child is a special child with lots of attention and needs. Just be patient with your child and shower him with lots of loves and care.

As a mother of two autistic children is very hard. Before I always asking God why He gave me this kind of children, but as time goes by, I realized. I believe that He gave them to me because He knows that I’m a perfect mother for them.
