==========================================
Aggression and Violent Behavior
Aggressive behavior in the child with Asperger's
Syndrome occurs for a reason, just as it would with any
other child.
Inappropriate behavior, whether mild or severe, occurs in
order to; avoid something, get something, because of pain,
or to fulfill a sensory need.
The first step in reducing or eliminating this behavior is to
determine the need that it fulfills.
The second step is to teach them a replacement behavior,
i.e. communicate what they want or don't want.
It may even involve using some of their obsessive or
self-stimulating behaviors as a replacement.
This is because it would be far less intrusive to others than
Aggressive behaviors, but still serve the same purpose.
This process takes time and initially, depending on the
behavior, you may not have time.
If the behavior is severe, then you need to remove the
child from whatever situation they are in at the time.
Simply insisting that they stop the behavior and
participate in whatever is occurring will not benefit
the child or you, unless you remove them from the
situation first.
Maintaining their routine will go along way towards
reducing the need for inappropriate or aggressive
behavior in the first place.
This is just one of the many tricks, tips and techniques
that you can use to cope with your Asperger's child's
behaviors that feature in my new book "The Parenting
Asperger's Resource Guide". Which you can learn
