CHCCHILD301B - Impact of Autism On Behavior

Hi Baby-boo97

Not sure if you are having to answer in dot points or in full paragraphs, but as the question asked what impact autism might have on a child's behaviour, I would answer along the following lines:

A child with autism may display a number of different behaviours. These could include:

Being upset for no apparent reason or being unable to communicate the reason for their unhappiness.

they may play repetitively or obsessively with particular toys.

They may show aggressive behaviour towards themselves or others.

They may shun social contact and remain 'on the outside' of other children's play.

they may display overactive or very passive behaviours.

they may have no awareness of personal safety

Loud noises may cause distress

Change to normal routines can cause a big change to the behaviour of a child with autism.

Of course, every child is different, but this gives you a few ideas. It is very important to note that this these behaviours may be the only way the child feels they can cope. Sometimes things can seem overwhelming and chaotic and these behaviors are a coping mechanism or reaction.

thankyou so much:))
