This is a practical examination of the behaviours that people with
autism may exhibit that other people may find challenging. In order
to help the autistic person to move on from these behaviours, it is
important to understand their causes. The authors describe those
characteristics of autism - sensitivity to environmental stimuli
and difficulties with communication, problem solving, physical
movement and emotional well being - which contribute to behaviours
which other people may find unacceptable and which in some cases
may be harmful to themselves. Drawing on research and on their own
clinical experience, Clements and Zarkowska provide practical
advice for dealing with challenging behaviour and for looking
beyond it to solve the problem it manifests. They include useful
tips on how to avoid reinforcing challenging behaviours and
creating situations which might give rise to them, and principles
for implementing strategies for change.
