Whether a child with autism keeps hitting you, others, or themselves, it’s a problem. In fact, dealing with aggression and autism are pretty common, and important issues. There are a number of causes for kids with autism to hit, but it’s important to always start with an assessment. Maybe demands are causing the behavior, or when the child is bored or in pain. Aggressive behavior and autism can correlate with things that are not happening too, and knowing when the behavior is not happening is equally as important. For example, if the child only hits when they are not on the iPad, that could be a cause as well. All of this is important information for creating a plan to stop or reduce the behavior. When working with autism violence, it’s also important to observe and analyze what else is happening when the child is hitting. Without any of this information, and questions answered, an autism aggression treatment plan can easily backfire. If you’re still questioning “how do I stop my child from hitting”, or “why does my child keep hitting”, make sure to download my free 3step guide to help you get started turning autism around today.

Dr. Mary Barbera "fell" into the autism world in 1999 when her firstborn son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism one day before his third birthday. Over the past 2 decades, Mary has gone from knowing almost nothing about autism to becoming a BoardCertified Behavior Analyst, writing a bestselling book, The Verbal Behavior Approach (which is now translated in over 10 languages), and earning a PhD with a thorough understanding of some of the best autism ABA strategies. In 2015, Mary started her first autism online course which has already been purchased from parents and professionals from over 45 countries and now sells 3 online courses. With over 2 decades in the autism world, both as a parent and professional, Mary is in a unique position to help YOU, especially if you live or work with a child with autism who also has language delays or disorders. Her mission is to turn things around for 2 million children with autism (or signs of autism) by 2020 through online training and advocacy!
