More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
People with autism spectrum conditions may often behave in ways that cause difficulties for themselves and those who care for them. People with Autism Behaving Badly offers effective, long-term strategies to help resolve common problem behaviors such as physical aggression, self-injury, verbal abuse, rudeness and property damage. The book is organized around the common messages conveyed by behaviors and some of the underlying issues that drive these messages. Practical ideas for intervention are provided and illustrated by case examples. A range of exercises help to build understanding of the issues and detail appropriate plans. A log book helps to track what has been tried and what has been learned. In addition the author explores the role of relationship 'styles' that can help reduce challenging behaviors and encourage positive ones. Realistic information about working together with individuals, families and outside agencies, and about the pros and cons of medication, is also included. This hands-on, practical manual is indispensable for families, carers and anyone involved with autistic people who need help with behavioral or emotional challenges.

Really helpful,
This review is from: People with Autism Behaving Badly: Helping People with ASD Move on from Behavioral and Emotional Challenges (Paperback)
I have a fifteen year old son with Asperger Syndrome and at times his behaviour can be challenging to say the least. I have returned to this book time and time again. It does not pull any punches about the difficulties faced by parents of people on the Autistic Spectrum. It offers tips on how to look for the causes of difficult behaviour, how to prioritise which behaviour you want to tackle, and also advice on when it is best just to withdraw, and tackle the behaviour at a later date.
It is also quite clear that changing problem behaviour can take weeks, months or may in fact never change. It then offers ideas about how to cope with it. There are no easy answers to this difficult situation, but this book has been the most helpful I have found so far.

This review is from: People with Autism Behaving Badly: Helping People with ASD Move on from Behavioral and Emotional Challenges (Paperback)
I have a son of 12 who has autism and suffers from incredibly controlling behaviour. This is the only book I have found that actually offers practical advice on how to live with the controlling behaviour and try to deal with it. Its easy to read without being too much "psycho-babble" which is the trouble with so many autism help books. I would thoroughly recommend it and have leant it to my son's SENCO to try to get his school understanding his issues better.
4.0 out of 5 stars
