What was the reaction you gave to your child the moment they responded to you in a way that was negative and not expected? The moment you knew that this was your child, but their behavior wasn't warranted, but was presented to you?
If you're asking the moment my child understood I wasn't going to give into her behavior, their was an "extinction burst". A fancy term for, she threw the biggest fit she'd ever thrown because she was so used to getting her way. I finally gave in and after this, things became MUCH easier. Does this help?
Not exactly sure what you are asking here, but my son used to scream all the time. I realize now or at least I think I know that he was unable to communicate with people and would just scream when they talked to him for the most part. I just hugged him. I did not know my son was autistic and as a first time parents we did not know signs to look for or anything. He was a good baby in general.
We stopped going out in public except church. We thought his behavior was normal until one day I realized my son was actually not talking at 2 when he was a little chatter box before thanks to Sesame Street. Again at first we did not know his behavior was not normal. He was still our child and became immune to the screaming but we tried to be respectful and watched eating out after an episode in a restaurant where he would not stop screaming. A lady from another table asked if we wanted some Goldfish crackers. I told her that we had some. That was our eye opener. We just stayed home. I embraced my baby and vowed to love and protect him on our new journey called life. He has never tried to hurt himself or anyone else but he has been attacked by others in a couple of his contained classes at school.
Growing up and maturing took care of the screaming once he learned how to communicate better. Now he can articulate most things but speaks at times like a foreigner learning English with some pronoun reversal. He has come a long way. However, there was one instance when I sent him to his room for not flushing the toilet. He was 14 and knew better. So he starts screaming like he was being assaulted. We had just moved to California and into our new apartment 3 days prior and knew no one. A neighbor called the police after she heard him screaming and we shocked to hear them pounding on the door. They demanded to know what happened. I explained my son was autistic and was sent to his room for not flushing the toilet. They wanted to see him to make sure everything was ok. After talking to him, they apologized and said that they had to check out the complaint. I was fuming at the neighbor. I realized that they have to check things out but our neighbor could have called management to come and check out things as we have a staff in the office. The maintenance man told me who called and to this day that lady can't look me in the eye. I would be nice if she could just apologize or explain that she was looking out for my son, but I don't think it was out of concern. I think it was spite. His screaming was unwarranted but he got the fear of being taking away from us put into him when the police came. Maybe that old haint did us a favor.
