Autism Q&A: Why Is My Autistic Child so Aggressive? Hitting and Violent Behavior Explained (2019)

My Autistic Child is Becoming More and More Aggressive at School: What Should I Do?
I get asked this question a lot, and when a parent says "my autistic son is becoming violent" I know IMMEDIATELY that the situation needs a remedy, or the aggressive behavior is going to get out of control FAST.
It is of paramount importance that as a teenager on the spectrum grows up, his or her parents need to know EXACTLY what to do the moment an autistic child shows aggressive behavior, and a tendency to express violence.
But before we begin answering this question, I want to tell you the story of a friend of mine... This particular boy with autism spectrum disorder was 16 years old, and he was getting MORE AND MORE aggressive at school.
To the point that he was knocking tables over, he was hitting, he was yelling, it was clear that he was REALLY out of control and things were getting WORSE...

    I'm sorry to hear that so many people suffer from autism, whether they be autistic individuals or the people in their lives. Your video offers an explanation for observed behavior; it also offers a possible treatment avenue, and I thinks that's great. While hitting and violent behavior may be explained here, I think it a different matter to argue that hitting others and violent behavior toward others is excusable. I want to tread gently here, and I don't want to be misunderstood: Persons impacted by autism are worthy of all the compassion and love due any human being. Other human beings also are worthy of all the compassion and love due any human being. I agree with you that getting to the root of the frustration is paramount; it seems that the root of the frustration is grounded in communication difficulties. I myself carry two diagnoses that are serious, and that can result in violent or aggressive behavior if improperly managed. Part of that management responsibility is my own. In other words, should I ever become violent or aggressive--and especially if I harm someone--it won't be because I suddenly became unable to discern right from wrong, nor will it be because I'm incapable of knowing that I'm harming someone. If an autistic person harms another person, accountability doesn't automatically become of no account. This must be part of the calculus for any prospective solution or treatment.

    So my son is amazingly intelligent, yet minimally verbal and learning RPM right now. It's awesome. BUT, he is so out of control aggressive toward me - and it's all around food. He wants what he wants when he wants it. He is obese so that's not an option. He is bigger than I am and can (and does) take me down in a minute. What about that situation? How can I get him through this diet change (removing sugars and processed carbs) without him seriously injuring me?

    What if they are verbal? And can tell us what the problem is. My child is becoming very aggressive only in school and its usually when he doesn't get his way.
