People keep touching me

Touching in all it's forms, is a way of communicating.

In my work with adults with challenging behaviour, one of my  disabled clients communicated often by physical contact.  She was both physically and mentally disabled, in a wheelchair, having Cerebral Palsy, epilepsy,  moderate learning disabilities and possibly autism.

She didn't touch gently!   she grabbed people by their arm very strongly and kept a hold!  How one reacted to her strong grip influenced how she interacted with them.  She was very mobile in her wheelchair and often wheeled herself behind someone and either punched them or gave them a very strong kick.  I, because of my unorthodox behaviour never had any problems with her.  We got along very well.  Other staff members warned me to be on my guard. ' she punches, kicks, spits at people pulls people's hair and even bites' were some of  the warnings.

Hi, sorry I didn’t male myself very clear. It’s my colleagues that are causibg the issue.
