15 supportive behavior strategies for children on the autism spectrum |
In this article you will find 15 supportive behavior strategies for children on the autism spectrum (some strategies can be used with adults as well). Many of the strategies can also be used to help children without autism who have challenging behaviors.
When caring for or working with a child with autism, a parent, teacher, or other adult may become frustrated with the child’s behavior. Behaviors can come on suddenly, last for hours, be hard to control, or make the adult scared or embarrassed.
Side-Note: *Autism is considered to be on a spectrum. It is called a spectrum because some people have only a few or mild symptoms while others have many or severe symptoms.
Here are some common characteristics of children with autism to help you better understand the root of their behavior. Some of the characteristics below can also be common in very young children, or individuals with developmental or emotional disabilities. Keep in mind that all children with autism are different. Some may have only a few of the characteristics below, while others may have many.
Side-Note: *All children have exceptional strengths as well. It is extremely important to focus on these strengths, let the child know how proud you are of his efforts, and incorporate strengths into play and learning.
Characteristics of Autism Can Include:
- trouble using and understanding language or certain aspects of language such as sarcasm, expressions, and body language.
- difficulty taking in sensory input in an ordinary way. For example, a vacuum cleaner may sound overly loud, a smell may be extra strong, or the feel of something may be extra itchy.
- a need for a particular routine so they know what to expect as they can become frustrated when things don’t go the way they had expected.
- trouble recognizing another person’s opinion or understanding another person’s feelings.
- difficulty working on or participating in activities with no clear ending (e.g., an open ended writing activity, a class lecture)
- difficulty switching from one activity to another, especially if they have to switch from something enjoyable to something not enjoyable (I think everyone can relate to that).
- difficulty organizing themselves in productive play when not directed or given specific instructions.
Sometimes these characteristics lead to problem behaviors at home, in the classroom, or in the community which can be frustrating for the child and the adults caring for him.
Here are some strategies which can prevent problematic behaviors or promote positive behavioral changes (since every child is different, you may have to try different strategies to see which ones work best with your child/student):
(Note: the strategies below illustrate ways for the adult to behave in order to promote positive behavior in the child. Adults who work with children with behavior challenges are sometimes surprised to hear that they have to change their own behaviors or change the environment to meet the needs of the child. As a behavior consultant, I have often heard “Why should I have to change? He is the one acting out.”, “It is too much work to make these changes.” “Why should he be rewarded for doing what he is supposed to do?” In actuality, the adult does not have to make any changes in their own behavior or the environment, but then the child’s behavior will not change. As far as rewards go, it is always beneficial to acknowledge and praise children for positive behavior and to let children earn privileges rather than taking privileges away).
*Keep in mind that there is no magic answer. All you can do is try your best. If you are putting sincere effort into implementing effective strategies and trying your best to meet the needs of your child/student, you are doing the right thing, even if you are not getting the results you hoped for. Additionally, children who do not appear to understand language may not respond to some of the strategies in this article, but some suggestions for children with severe language difficulties are also included. If you feel like the situation with your child is unmanageable, seek help from a medical, behavioral or mental health professional. If you work in a school, talk to your team members to get as much support as possible.

You can also contact Steven Evans, at Therapeutics Research Institute. He is doing a study on kids with autism. It is free and I believe he is still accepting new patients. He has been getting some good results. sevans@gsm-usa.com
If you would rather just do this on your own and buy the machine, that's fine as well, but he really has been getting some good results. If he accepts you, he will also supply the machine - at no cost.

Rife Digital Professional V2
|
We are still editing the Youtube video on this machine, but we do have the Youtube for the previous model available. They look a little different but they both work the same. The previous model does not have different languages available or the ability to adjust the voltage. But the functioning and programming is the same. Here is that LINK
How The Machine Works
The machine works on resonance so if what you are treating for is not present in you then nothing will happen. Below is an explanation of how this works.
Dr. Rife, who first discovered that when viruses, bacteria and parasites are bombarded with electrical pulses of the right frequency, they shake apart. This is an inherent characteristic shared by all objects and living beings called "Resonant Frequency," which is the frequency at which an object naturally vibrates. Resonant frequencies are what makes a string on a stringed instrument produce a certain note. But resonant frequencies, in addition to producing music can also cause objects to shake so uncontrollably that their stability is undermined. This is what happened to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. The wind reached resonance with the bridge and it shook apart. The same is true with pathogens. When the frequency being introduced into the body by way of feet and/or hand straps reaches resonance with whatever pathogen it resonates with, it undermines it's stability and kills it.
Like a Soprano singing a high note and breaking a wine glass.
The machine is completely programmable so as new frequencies become available you will be able to use those without having to purchase anything else.

CW & RF and How to Use the Rife Healing Mat or Belt
|
With the New Professional V2 machine, If you have this, be sure to PUSH the CW button when you begin your treatment on SWEEP or RUN. You will use SWEEP most of the time and you will use CW most of the time. When in CW you will see an "X" to the right of PLAY. When in RF you will see a square.
This is IMPORTANT- especially for cancer - Push SWEEP and then Push CW - if cancer is the issue you want to be using CW all of the time.
With the Rife Healing Belt or Mat, you can use that in direct contact with the skin if you drop the voltage on the machine to 12.5v. Some people can do this using it at the 14.5v level, but if you try that make sure it is not causing any irritation or discomfort.
If you want to use this under a thin fitted bed sheet or with a thin t-shirt then put the voltage up to 17v. And if you have an older model or one of the Trio model machines you will need to use a thin piece of material between you and the mat or belt.

Turmeric-Spiced Shakshuka With Delicata Squash
Serves 4
Shakshuka, a North African dish of eggs poached in tomato sauce, is popular throughout the Middle East and elsewhere, and for good reason: It makes a great breakfast or brunch ... or lunch … or dinner. It’s also the edible equivalent of wrapping yourself up in a blanket. Our take on the dish includes delicata squash, a variety with a particularly thin, tender skin that doesn’t require peeling before roasting. You can also use a small acorn squash.
You’ll need:
- 1 delicata squash, halved lengthwise
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 3 teaspoons sunflower seed oil or canola oil, divided
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced (1/2 cup)
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 1 (15.5-ounce) can diced 365 Everyday Value Organic Fire Roasted Tomatoes or regular diced tomatoes
- 4 large cage-free eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro leaves
- A few pinches of flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
- Freshly ground black pepper
Method:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Scoop out squash seeds with a spoon and discard. Cut squash into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In large bowl, toss squash with 1/4 teaspoon fine salt and 1 teaspoon of oil. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place rings in single layer on parchment. Roast until tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in medium (9-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in turmeric, cumin and pepper flakes, and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and remaining 1/2 teaspoon fine salt. Bring to boil, adjust heat and simmer 5 minutes.

Greek Lemon and Chicken Soup
|
This brightly flavored chicken and egg soup is based on the Greek classic avgolemono, which translates as “egg-lemon.” It makes a terrific starter, but since it contains a hearty amount of chicken breast, you can also enjoy the soup as a meal in itself.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves (about 14 ounces total)
- 1 cup orzo
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or dill
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Method:
Combine broth, bay leaf and salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add chicken, cover and adjust heat so broth just simmers. Cook until chicken is tender and just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Using tongs, transfer chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to touch, finely chop or shred meat. Add orzo to broth, adjust heat and simmer until orzo is tender, about 8 minutes. Discard bay leaf and return shredded chicken to the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs until frothy, then whisk in lemon juice. Slowly whisk about 1 cup of the hot soup broth into egg mixture. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk egg mixture into soup. Sprinkle with parsley, season with pepper and serve.
