A member asked:
Is it normal for an autistic child to physically hurt another?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not intentionally: Often children with autism spectrum do not understand social interaction. What may seem normal to them may seem aggressive to another. Often they do not understand their own strength. Often they explode with frustration rather than talk something out. These issues need to be part of behavioral therapy.

Yes,but...: It happens as the child may not be able to control impulsive behaviors. Often not intentional but due to random expressions of discomfort thru physical means.We need patience.
