Behaviour help

Hi, I’m new on here and need advice for my daughter. My grandson is 6 years old and for the last 2 years has been throwing anything and everything over the garden fence and out of windows. Anything from his favourite toys to pint glasses, cups, food and anything he can get. Tried setting up things for him to throw, like basketball hoops etc but nothing works. We thought he’d grow out of it but hasn’t and cannot work out a solution. Please any advise would be great

Hi Sue, Sorry to hear you are having a tough time, individuals on the spectrum can often display behaviour that may be challenging. Generally there will be a trigger/reason for this and it is important to try and understand the trigger for the behaviour when developing strategies. You may like to have a look at the following link for more information on behaviour and strategies: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour

Another thing you might be interested in depending on the situation is seeking some professional support regarding the behaviour. You can search for professionals in your area we are aware of on the Autism Services Directory: https://www.autism.org.uk/directory

You might also like to take a look at The Challenging Behaviour Foundation website for further information and advice: https://www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk. They also have an information and support service which you can contact by phone or email – details can be found here: https://www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk/for-family-carers/family-support-service/

Hope that helps,
