I work with a very sweet, 8 year old, autistic boy,
who is prone to having extremely violent outbursts, which can be very damaging to his carer, if he doesnt get exactly as he wants. This can occur with something as small as going around the wrong corner, or not stopping the van at MacD's, even if he has had MacD's 5 minutes earlier. Myself and the other carers are having a lot of trouble figuring out how to deal with this is a loving way, and are not too happy about being kicked, bitten, pinched etc several times a day.
Does anybody have any suggestions, please!!
Also suggestions on how to deal with him running away would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Goldie
