Autism & Challenging Behaviour: 5 reasons behind challenging behaviour in neurodivergent children
We asked our readers what's hard about parenting autistic and ADHD children, and lots of them said handling challenging behaviour is tough! So, we made this simple eBook to help people learn about why neurodivergent kids might act out. Sometimes, it's not defiance - it's their way of dealing with changes or how they feel. This eBook discusses five things: communication, sensory processing, changes in routine, nervousness in social situations, and feeling ill. All these things can make people think a child is being difficult, but often, that's not what's really going on.
