Quote From: msjones_2007I leave in Texas and I am a Severe Aide for an Autistic Room. My children can be very violent at times. I have been scratched, hair pulled, bitten numerous times, but some days our kids are great. It does take a special person to be able to deal with an Autism child. You can scream and holler because it would go in one ear and out the other. My kids are very smart. You just have to know how to handle them when they become violent. They can get violent. I know a couple of my good teacher friends have been seriously injured behind kids, but they are still in this field. I love working with Autstic children and I would not change my job for the world.

I would be interested in what interventions have you found successful when a child is displaying violent behaviors.
