Spanking does not always cause a child to hit. My autistic child gets a swat on his bottom and his hands every now and then. His hitting has actually lessened but not because of whether i spank him. Some autistic children tend to be violent and destructive out of frustration. For example, if my son can not communicate something he may throw a fit or even hit the person he is trying to communicate too. Or maybe the kid took away her toy. If you are not seeing her hit, (if it's just reported to you) you may be getting only half the story. If it turns out to be frustration, a professional may be able to help if you are not sure how. One way that can help you understand the frustration of an autistic child is to put yourself in their shoes. Imagine not being able to communicate something that's very important to you. Now imagine everything you try to communicate is important and no one understands you. It would be very frustrating. Even with children that can talk, if they don' t know the words to get what they want across, they could still end up frustrated. It could even be a frustration that has nothing to do with verbal communication. I have seen autistic children get violent because of a sensory reaction as well. I hope this helps.

I just take my daughter by the hands and say we don't hit the older she gets the more she is understanding We've been working on this for two years it has gotten better
