One of the most common symptoms in children with autism is aggressive behavior. Aggression can in many ways. Physical aggression to be directed against you, other children, the child himself or on inanimate objects. Moreover, aggression in autistic children is not limited to physical behaviors but also extends to verbal aggression.
Whether physical or verbal aggression in an autistic child can be very exciting and potentially dangerous. For thisReason, autistic children who display aggressive symptoms require more supervision to prevent them from hurt yourself or others too.
Of course, parents do not want to just let this aggression continue and deal with it, as it occurs. Therefore, there are efforts on many levels to cope with the different types of aggression in autistic children and to reduce or at least curb its incidence to explore.
Often, the first options to reduce aggression suggested by doctorsreceive medical treatment - especially if the aggressive episodes seem especially dangerous for the child or those around him. Note that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nor no medications specifically approved for autism treatment. However, it has succeeded in designating drugs for other conditions, to alleviate the aggressive symptoms of autism experience.
It should be noted, though, that every individual reacts differently to medications andWhile some children respond very well to a certain dose of a drug, others have a completely different reaction. The process is highly individualized and takes careful observation, measurement, and avoid working with a health professional, to one of the possible side effects or interactions.
Recently, it has been the anti-psychotic drugs - in particular those who have been approved for schizophrenia treatments - that have produced the best resultsAutism aggression reduction. For example, one study looked at 2002 as the "Risperidone in children with autism and serious behavioral problems" (McCracken, JT, MD, McGough, J, MD, et al.), The New England Journal of Medicine published the effects of Risperdal (Risperidone) on aggression in children with autism. At the end of this 8-week study, given 69 percent of children were either Risperdal have said "considerable progress" or "much improved" compared to only 12 percent inthe placebo group.
However, many parents want to know not to treat - or continue to consider - their children with antipsychotic drugs. These drugs do not occur with possible adverse side effects and can be dangerous if overdosed. Are therefore often sought alternatives. Work with your child's doctor can be very important in this process. To try to change the behavior, parents should be very careful to what exactly happened before and during an aggressive episode. It is important totry to identify trends leading to an outburst of aggression.
For example, some parents find that their child is suddenly disrupted, while their teeth are brushed. There are many activities that will clean your teeth and everyone should be in assessing what the cause of the aggressive response. Is it his mouth wide open? Is it the feeling of bristles to the teeth, gums, cheek, palate or tongue? The toothbrush has gone too far and push the gagReflex? Saliva is pooling near the back of the mouth (what a drowning sensation)? Is it drooling? Is it the smell, texture or taste of the toothpaste? Is it the foaming of the toothpaste? Is it the feeling of spitting or swallowing saliva and toothpaste?
Each element must be checked and tested to see if the situation can be improved. For example, bristles try different types of toothbrushes with softer, a different shaped head, or other textured bristles, or differentFlavors of toothpaste or gels. Various cleaning equipment should also be trying to avoid various sensations, levels and saliva in the mouth should be carefully monitored.
Other children do not respond to a sensory sensitivity, but as a result of feeling upset or something that she did not verbalize frustration. For example, a child who tries to tie his shoes, but who has not yet developed the skills to do with those who might be very frustrated and are unableExpression of the root of the frustration and instead react aggressively. Under stress, speaking clearly identified a major challenge for autistic children, and they are often on the behavior of the younger children again, instead of saying what they want.
It should also be borne in mind that if aggression has suddenly developed or deteriorated, it can cause an allergic reaction to food, environmental conditions, medications or a change in home or at school. Drugs have potential side effectsincluding aggression. You can also connect with other medicines, taken over by the child. Furthermore, seasonal allergies or food allergies can cause symptoms in an autistic child, for which he or she is very sensitive and can not properly verbalize, leading to aggressive behaviors. It is important to explore all possible ways to eradicate the problem.
The most important thing to remember is, if your child has become aggressive is for you and your environment to remain calm and talkcalm.
If necessary, remove any objects that your child could hurt themselves or others with. Ask other people present to leave the room or give your child space, but make sure to pay you or another responsible adult. Never leave your child alone.
If your child in an appropriate environment, will avoid trying to say something, because this can inflammatory and can prolong the aggressive behavior. From your child stay calm may choose their behavior to end quickly.
Of course,It is also possible that a child be displayed for autistic symptoms and features without autistic really at all. It is important to ensure that a misdiagnosis occurred by considering alternative mental disorders that can present with the same or similar conduct.
