[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 474686"] whatamess has a point that everything needs to be done for prevention. husband also has a point. There are some behaviors that are not acceptable no matter what the reason is behind the behavior. For example, my difficult child 1 in Sep. tried to hit easy child 1 with a piano bench. If he had succeeded he would have killed her. She is so small. Unacceptable behavior. The reasons he did it are 1. he is mentally ill 2. he was facing going to X's house where he is abused. difficult child 1 is so stressed he is hallucinating. He has very good reasons to take it out on others. I still can't allow the behavior. So I do everything to prevent the behavior again. difficult child 1 is on 24/7 supervision. His time right before something I know will be a stressor is packed with fun stuff to do. And when he hurts her he gets the natural consequence of not getting to be around his siblings for a time. This consequence does a few things it punishes so he and his sister both know exactly where Mama stands on the issue of difficult child 1 hurting easy child 1. It keeps him away from her so he has a chance to calm down without re-offending. He gets to apologize when he comes back. He has started to separate himself when he realizes he is escalating. So it is also teaching him a coping strategy he can use. Part of the prevention we are doing is working with his therapists. Yes, it seems that the more stress an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid has the more likely they are to show more Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) symptoms. [/QUOTE]
