Aggressive and Defiant Behavior
It's very common for children with ADHD and autism to be aggressive and defiant. They are generally quite immature emotionally and therefore they may not understand how to handle a NO. First of all, make sure your child's diet is very clean. No artificial colors, preservative and chemicals. No fast foods either. Also, make sure your child is not low in certain vitamins like vitamin D and iron as these deficiencies can sometime affect the behavior as well. Second, try putting putting your child in some kind of behavioral therapy. ABA is excellent for such kids. Also, make sure you have a good structure in the house and are consistent with the rules. Kids generally tend to be more defiant and aggressive towards their mothers because they can push the limits easily. You don't have to be harsh, just be consistent and firm. Rubina Azam MD, FAAP, ABOIM READ MORE
