Different Behaviour Between School and Home

IntenseWorld

Please see the NAS information here, which explains how and why a child on the spectrum can exhibit different behaviours between school and home (can also apply to other places outside of the home):

  • Hi, I'm hoping you can all help. For the past 18 months we have been having an ongoing battle with our sons school because of his behaviour. They have now announced that some of his behaviour is on the Autistic scale, however we our having a tough time getting out head around this. After research I have a tendency to agree but wher i am struggling is because of how quickly his moods change. He is 6 years old and we are aware that he can be challenging, but we can normally calm him down. Where the difficulty is coming is at school he appears to turn into the devil. Kicking teachers etc and throwing chairs. This is behaviour he has never displayed at home. I was just after finding out the experiences of other parents because after reading the linked article it would appear as though it should be the other way.
