How to Correct Problem Behavior
- REFRAME. Your interpretation of the “why” behind the behavior might be increasing your own anger… and it might be wrong.
- RESEARCH. Look for patterns to see what your child might be trying to say.
- REINFORCE & PUNISH. Behaviors have consequences.
- REPEAT.
- REQUEST.
Does Aspergers make you look younger?
Asperger Syndrome was characterized as a “pervasive developmental disability.” That is, people with this profile may often appear or act younger than others of the same age.
What does a child with Aspergers act like?
Children with Asperger’s Syndrome exhibit poor social interactions, obsessions, odd speech patterns, limited facial expressions and other peculiar mannerisms. They might engage in obsessive routines and show an unusual sensitivity to sensory stimuli.
How do you get an autistic child to comply?
Here are the steps to follow:
- Step 1: Clearly give the instruction. For example, “eat your peas.” Give the child five seconds to comply.

Is your autistic family member just using it as an excuse?
Particularly when combined with the last point- when the autistic family member does not match up with the stereotypes- it’s only a hop, skip and a jump to “you’re just using it as an excuse.” This is very damaging, by the way.
Did you learn about your autism/Asperger’s while being diagnosed?
But it’s absolutely true. I’ve heard from a number of parents who tell a similar story: that they learned about their own autism/Asperger’s while their child was being diagnosed. For many of these parents, they learned something about themselves and felt more able to help their autistic son/daughter afterwards.
Why is it important to talk to people with autism?
Too often, non-autistic people write about autism without consulting real autistic people. They may come up with inaccuracies, laughable misconceptions, or extremely negative viewpoints on differences that don’t hurt anyone. Autistic people can provide you with a more accurate and well-rounded view.
Should I Stop Apologizing for being autistic?
Stop apologizing for being autistic. You have the right to ask for accommodations, stim in public, and do what you need to do in order to function. Toning down your behavior is your choice —not something to be pushed or coerced out of you. You are not required to act more neurotypical just because everyone else is used to it.
