A member asked:
My autistic son screams alot. is there any coping secrets or theroputic measures to help him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : The first step is to determine what may be causing the screaming. If he is non-verbal it may be related to pain, frustration from inability to communicate , anger or sensory overload. Your medical provider can start by helping to rule out pain and an occupational therapist can be helpful with sensory integration. If it appears behavioral applied behavioral therapy can be helpful.
