I am a provider of Home and Community Habilitation to developmentally challenged individuals. Recently we began working with the brother of a long term client,both are autistic. While the one brother has come quite a long way, in the time that we have had him,the other is much more severely affected. The newer client has behaviors that I'm not sure how to address. When his parents are present the behaviors are less or do not happen at all. He spits towards me ,throws items at me and is starting to grab and try to twist my arm. This happens when I'm only in the same room with him and not requiring anything of him. If anyone has ever dealt with this type of aggression I would appreciate any input.
