Try to Determine the Function of Your Autistic Child’s Behavior

dreamstime 1

It is natural to feel upset when you don’t get what you want, but often tantrums can be
the result when autistic children don’t feel heard or understood. Remember, a tantrum is
a form of communication and a way of getting your attention. Try to understand the
reason for a tantrum or other behavior without reacting impulsively.
