Autistic Agression

Author: jANINE

Unfortunately one of the most common problems reported in autistic teenagers is aggression.

The aggression whether it is physical or verbal can be directed at anything or anyone, and quite often out of the blue.

It is very distressing as a parent or autistic educator to find coping strategies and support sometimes, autistic aggression although very common in autistic teenagers is still never the less difficult to understand sometimes and can leave you feeling almost helpless.

Autistic educators need to be aware of the affect on the adolescents also in the class and parents of cause need to be weary of how the aggression is affecting the entire family.

If the autistic aggression is severe the G.P. will prescribe medication such as Risperidone.
