Medication
I wanted to add that even celebrities like Dan Aykroyd (whose interest in ghosts and police led to helping to write Ghostbusters and Coneheads), and Daryl Hannah (Splash, Blade Runner, Steel… read more
I am a psychologist in Santiago, Chile. The family has been given this resource to address extreme tantrums and frustration tolerance issues. The center seems very expensive. Their own testimonials give positive reviews. I an wondering whether anyone has gone through their behavioral training for individuals and families and what your experience was like?
I agree that what happens before the behavior and how it is handled play a part in maintaining the behaviors.
I have a REALLY big problem with my autistic son being mean or even violent to his younger brother. I've tried time-out, but he won't stay in it. He's too strong for me to restrain him in time-out. What should I do?
Okay, I wasn't sure about the ages. Godspeed on this issue!
How do u know if your child needs ABA?
It’s usually the recommendation of the Dr who diagnosed. If it’s something you’re considering then you’d have an evaluation done just like with other services like speech and OT
I would love to hear your experiences with medication, especially in the treatment of anxiety, anger, and explosive behaviors.
My youngest son is currently experiencing some marked behavior issues that we didn't experience with my oldest son (both ASD).
(Already working with a behavioral therapist and integrating a good deal of sensory support into OT both at school and in private therapy).
TIA!
My son has developed new behavior problems on top of the usual ones we have. He just turned four and has now started being rough with others not just himself. I have him in speech, occupational and physical therapy already. Will behavioral therapy help the behaviors? Or am i just putting him in too much therapy adding that to the mix and he might not do well in the other therapies. I have not been able o find a place that offers it yet and someone told me they only offer it in private offices… read more

My grandson is getting in trouble at school because he’s pushing or biting other kids. We’ve had many conversations, but he always gets easily frustrated and reacts this way. How do we help him?
Im so sorry to hear this. You must feel stressed about it. I agree with what’s been said. The behaviours are showing overwhelm or distress. This means staff need to be proactive. Sometimes those… read more

My son is 12 yrs. old. He is on the mild spectrum autism. He has been going to school since he's been 2. He's displayed tantrums in the past, but lately they are getting out of hand. He is getting to the point where he is hitting the staff and students at his school, and starting hitting at home on me and my mother. Throwing things and destroying property. My mother and I are at the point where we don't know how to handle this properly because of his autism. If we give him a time out, he just… read more
