Re: StatisticsOnBehaviorProbs

Hi Rose:

Here is one: http://www.chtop.com/ARCH/archFS9.htm

Autism occurs along a spectrum from mild to severe. Autism in its

mildest form may resemble a learning disability. However, the

communication and socialization difficulties of autism still result in a

need for individualized planning. Of persons with autism, only 2-3% fall

at the very severe end of the spectrum, which is often accompanied by

severe behavior difficulties, such as intense self-injury and/or

aggression. Autism may also be associated with other disabilities due to

developmental delays.

I have read on another site that the percentage was either 5% or 25%...

Aggression can also be caused by yeast overgrowth, physical pain,

overstimulation, diet intolerance's.

Hi Guys~~

I was wondering if anyone could put me in touch with some kind of

research or information that shows the likelihood of behavior problems

in children with autism. How many children with autism are likely to be

aggressive (hitting, pinching, head banging, throwing, etc.).

Thanks~~

Hey, I only copied it- I did not write it... Here are two more- but probably are

not quite what you are looking for. My son is not aggressive, so I really have

not searched for this information.

http://www.moddrc.com/Information-Disabilities/FastFacts/autism.htm

Children who seem very different from each other may receive the same diagnosis.

This is because they fall along a continuum from those children who are mildly

affected to those severely affected. Only 3% of children diagnosed with Autism

have self-injurious and aggressive behavior.

http://www.universityprogram.usf.edu/specialeducation/autpdd.htm

Self-Injurious and Aggressive Behavior - Researchers currently are focusing on

the communicative function of these behaviors. Specifically, analysis of the

function of disruptive behaviors has been researched and behaviors such as

self-injury, aggression, and other related behaviors (e.g., tantrums, and

property destruction) fall into specific patterns of functions or reasons the

individual displays them. Common functions include:

Attention seeking

Avoidance of a Perceived Unpleasant Situations

Escape from and Undesirable Activity or Task

Many times, when such functions are assessed and appropriate communicative

behaviors are taught, self-injury and aggression can be reduced, eliminated, or

prevented.

The symptoms and characteristics can present in a wide variety of combinations,

from mild to severe. Although autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors,

children and adults can exhibit any combination of the behaviors in any degree

of severity. Two children, both with a diagnosis of autism, can appear very

different.

There is no standard type or typical person with autism. Parents may hear more

than one label applied to the same child, for example: " autistic-like, learning

disabled with autistic tendencies, " " high functioning autism, " or " low

functioning autism. " These labels do not describe differences between the

children as much as they indicate differences between the professionals'

training, vocabulary, and exposure to autism.

Rose:

In my years of researching autism topics, I've not found one particular item

or list of likely behaviors. Self-injurious behaviors are common, usually

fueled by OCD-type behaviors. It seems to be a child's lack of

communication abilities that drive aggressive behaviors.
