Self-injurious and aggressive behaviors like hitting, pushing, pulling hair, or biting are common in some children with autism. These actions are not always signs of anger—they are often a child’s way of communicating. Understanding the root causes is the first step to managing and improving these behaviors.
Why Do Autistic Children Show Aggressive or Physical Behaviors?
These behaviors often arise when the child:
Struggles to express when they are hungry, thirsty, in pain, or feeling uneasy.
Feels overwhelmed due to noise, heat, or sensory overload.
Lacks communication skills, leading them to express through actions instead of words.
For example, if a child pulls another’s hair or pushes in a park, they may simply be trying to say, “Hello, I want to play,” but don’t know how to express it in a socially appropriate way.
Key Areas to Focus On
1 Encourage simple activities like running to a tree or touching grass for sensory input.
Carry a ball-filled bag to the park; let the child pick and place the balls back, which builds focus and motor control.
Such exercises help reduce hyperactivity and improve sensory regulation.
2. Pressure Control and Sensory Awareness Therapy in Kolkata
Children with autism often don’t understand how much pressure to apply when touching or pushing. You can:
Use sensory mats at home (e.g., soft, heartbeat, or grass-textured mats).
Help them explore textures using their hands and feet.
This helps them learn the right amount of force during physical contact with others.
Understand, Support, and Connect
They’re expressions of inner distress—not deliberate attempts to hurt. With the right guidance and therapies, these issues can be significantly improved.
