Why Do Kids with Autism Act Out and are Sometimes Aggressive?

Many of our children are extremely intelligent even though they can’t show us that because of the communication issue. It may look like the lights are on and nobody is home but that usually isn’t true. They are in there and hearing every word we say. But since they have limited speech and have trouble communicating they sometimes get frustrated.

 

Here is an excerpt from my book that may explain what is happening:

“The best way I can best explain the frustration children with autism feel is with a chocolate analogy. Imagine your favorite candy bar is right in front of you and you missed lunch. You are starving. Your blood sugar plummets along with your mood. You try to communicate to anyone who will listen to hand over that chocolate candy bar loaded with caramel and nuts now, but no one understood what you were trying to say. Then someone gives you a pencil. Next, they demand you say “Thank you” for this object you do not want. And when you don’t, they give you a swat on the butt. Given this scenario, I might hit or scream too.”

 

 

Marcia Hinds wrote ‘I Know You’re In There: winning our war against autism’. This inspirational book is the story of her son’s recovery. Ryan is now an engineer at a major aerospace company. Marcia has degrees in sociology and psychology from UCLA and is a credentialed teacher. But Marcia’s most impressive credential for writing this book is that she is Ryan’s mother and their family survived the autism diagnosis.
