Hi
We are going through a bit of a rough patch with our non verbal 3 year old autistic child.
Their meltdowns seem to have gotten quite bad lately which include being angry towards others (screaming, scratching and hitting us when trying to calm them).
Just wondered if there are any good books or techniques anyone can recommend on how best to try and deal with these situations/ behaviours.
Many thanks.
