Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Often times aggression out of nowhere (seemingly) with AS kids relates to a heightened sense of anxiety. Of course, behavior always has an underlying cause and is communication. What is it he is REALLY trying to tell you? Is there something that has changed significantly in his environment? Is there a new environment? My experience has been that for AS kids, when you reduce the level of anxiety, you will reduce or eliminate the rages and meltdowns. More times than not, it is something in the environment that is causing them anxiety.a change, something they are not able to deal with that makes them overall more anxious. You should consider a functional behavior assessment across all of his environments. nna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
