This publication provides a practical account of how people labelled as autistic can come to behave in ways that give rise to concern in other people, and sometimes themselves. The needs people with autism may express though these behaviours are identified and strategies for addressing both needs and behaviours are provided. Part 1 introduces the issues by looking at the difficulties faced by people with autism and the broad behaviours that get identified as problematic. Part 2 contains eight chapters that deal with the range of needs that may contribute to behaviours that cause concern and ways of meeting these needs. The chapters in this section cover: maintaining a safe environment, understanding, social relating, well being, competence, obessions, sensitivities and motivation. Each chapter covers general principles followed by a 'tips and hints' section which offers more specific help on possible solutions. Part 3 covers putting changes into practice.
