What is challenging behavior?

 

Challenging behavior is more of a 

Mental health problem than a learning disability.

Although it may come with such conditions as ADHD, Anger, Autism,

 Anxiety because they link to peoples’ thoughts, 

emotions, feelings, to the way people behave, etc.

There is no excuse for negative behavior,

 but the problems people face don’t help either.

For example; a person with Autism may

 be upset and anxious by unexcepted changes. 

Some people may be frustrated, 

upset and Anxious when they struggle to do things. 

These behaviors could be hitting, shouting, 

throwing things, getting angry with themselves or others. 

They may be a safety risk to themselves or others. 

Challenging behavior can make it very hard for

 a person to get on with, make friends etc. 

Autism is one of the most common disabilities that affect people’s 

relationships with other people, causing a lot of Anxiety.

Not all is due to the disability, but it does not help the person either

 because the person has positive behavior as well as negative behavior.

This does not make the person feel good about themselves, 

they may feel guilty etc, which does not make things all right either.

What should you do if your child, family member, or someone you know

 or came across etc is facing Challenging behavior?  

May be you know or come across someone who is looking for help.

 May be advise them to see their doctor to start with, he or she

 should investigate finding help.

 Some things the doctor may be able to help with etc. 

The person may need mental health support etc.  https://www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk/
