Is physical aggression when a child feels things aren’t going their way common in Autism

Thank you for your help 

Hello NAS75657.

Understanding behaviours in autistic individuals can be quite the process, although, it is true to say that there is a great deal of research and written work to help  provide a generalised overview for how we might provide support and understanding.

One thing is for certain - yourself, your son, and any other individuals involved, certainly deserve the care that is needed in order to best suit needs.

While I am sure that our community will have fantastic feedback to give, I would like to direct you towards our NAS approved resources:

A guide to Behaviours often related to autistic individuals - Behaviour

A guide to defining and understanding autism - What is autism

A  directory of services located around the united kingdom - Autism Services Directory

Our parent to parent support line - Parent to Parent Emotional Support Helpline

With all said, I wish the best going forward with your current circumstances.

Thanks - Zac Mod.
