Human beings who don’t feel safe, don’t get out of their comfort zone. But really, they are usually a sign of anxiety and overload. Adversity to change & inflexibility of behaviour: We are taught these are just “Autistic things”. Forcing them to disrespect their own needs isn’t the answer.Ģ. Children, just like everybody else, refuse to do things they find harmful. Usually, the reason is trauma, anxiety, bullying, exclusion, unrecognised health conditions, or generally non-compatible social or sensory environments. Children do not refuse to do things for no reason. School refusal, demand avoidance, defiance: Kids do well if they can. Some common “Autistic behaviours” you will hear about and what they really mean:ġ. Our job is to fix the cause of the behaviour, not the child. If they show challenging behaviours, it’s because they are being challenged by their environment. But the thing is, kids do well if they can. This week’s theme on AUsome socials: BEHAVIOURĪs parents, we are taught that we have to manage our kids’ ‘challenging behaviours’.

Most adults don't understand just how complex ADD and ADHD are, and how difficult it is for you to cope with it. As is true of icebergs, often the most challenging aspects of ADD and ADHD lurk beneath the surface.įor example, take a minute and look at all the characteristics listed below the surface.ĭo you have problems falling asleep or waking up, arriving somewhere on time, memorizing multiplication tables, repeating misbehavior, or getting started on your schoolwork? All these things often go along with your attention deficit. When you think of attention deficit disorders, visualize this iceberg with only one-eighth of its mass visible above the water line. Remember, two-thirds of you have at least one other diagnosable condition that often has a significant impact on your schoolwork. School is often incredibly challenging because of your inattention, executive function deficits such as being disorganized, losing track of time and being late, remembering and organizing your thoughts to write an essay, and memorizing information. Yet for so many teenagers, an attention deficit is much more complex than just these obvious behaviors. Typically, teachers and parents see the obvious tip first: the problems, such as not doing your homework, doing things impulsively, losing things, talking back, and arguing. If you find it hard to read go to Chris A. Attention deficit disorder may be compared to an iceberg: most of the problems are hidden beneath the surface and only the tip of the problem is visible!
