I'll tell you the secret with kids, You meet them on their level and you let them decide. Obviously within treatment goals and model, but take your time, and let them build trust.

This, This sounds exciting, and rewarding.

Awww, I had an experience like this with my Neices. Having them start talking more effectively is always a heartwarming experience. That's awesome.

My only comment is "aggression" and it's Latin root is "aggredi" which means to approach or go to (Krahé 2013) Page 7 of "The social psychology of aggression" 2nd Ed. Active hostile aggression is more accurate. I've always said special kids need special attention, and focus. Almost all behavior is learned and they benefit greatly from kind, direct interactions with positive peers such as yourself and professionals in this field. Talk with them. I was surprised with my neices how well they know themselves, and given the chance they communicate clearly and effectively. Not all kids are the same, but they do surprise me at times.

I learned while I’m listening to this video. Teach the child how to express anger without being too aggressive. ... Be persistent but resilient. ... Always stay positive. ... Ignore irritating attention-getting behavior. ... Interact through physical activity. ... Be affectionate and respectful.

I love this! What a blessing to see how you helped a child and family..

Need louder background music 😅

one thing is for sure.... nobody ever works with diet and gut biome issues with asd kids and families.

Who works with a client's diet and gut biome in their interventions?

Of course you have to address behavior issues with employees, but be careful _how_ you do so. I made mine feel bad about his mistake. I’m a high-ranking chef at a university and I was told by an employee that her coworker (let's call him Will) had been touching crew members too much. Not _that_ type of touch, just casual ones, like on arms or shoulders. He was always very outgoing and tactile at work. I took him to my colleague’s office and told him he shouldn't touch anyone without consent. Just handshakes. I said we needed the workers to be comfortable in a good work environment, that he pretty much shouldn't talk about anything other than work and school. How he shouldn't tell his stories because they may be inappropriate to some degree to the other workers; funny to him only. I think he’s about 25, give or take. He seemed pretty quiet and uncomfortable during my speech. Answered a question or two with a nod and headshake. *(Warning: Graphic Content)* That night, Will got shot by a woman he knew, who said "Your time is up. This is for your unfiltered joke yesterday. HeII, this is for _everyone_ who knows you. Nobody WANTS you. You deserve to DlE!" And then she stuck a knife into his stomach. *Luckily* the police arrived to arrest her and save Will. He was treated at the hospital _just_ in time. But...what if he wasn't? What if our *_last_* moment was in the office? Yes, I needed to address his behavioral "issue," but I should've been more respectful. More filter, less touching at work? Yeah, but compromise would've been fine. Like, only touching friendly coworkers he gets along great with. It's perfectly natural to causally touch or tap people *without* it being creepy. Will never meant to be that word. He just needed some limits, not all or nothing. I should’ve shown more patience and only given him a very brief and gentle talk in the hall, not a *firm lecture in the office* with his *boss present.* And I shouldn’t have asked her if there anything she wanted to add. So insensitive. Will never meant any discomfort or harm. He only meant to have fun with his coworkers. I made him feel bad, and the assaiIant made it much worse. I have to apologize to him whenever I can, for mishandling the situation. His assauIt is the only thing that made realize what was right.

How exciting!!!!

Thank you for this, Lori! So inspirational!

Thank you for your sharing your amazing story Ms. Smith!

It was beautiful to have met with these children and see that I knew I would have what it takes to care for them myself.

It's important to note that tantrums and meltdowns are two very, *very* different things. Meltdowns are involuntary responses to sensory overwhelm. If they're conflated with tantrums (which autistic folks can also have, to be clear), then an autistic individual may be taught to hide their signs of pain... which, obviously, leads to much lower quality of life for said individual.
