How to Discipline an Autistic Child

How do you discipline children and teens with autism? Learn more about it.

It can be difficult for a parent to determine the best way to manage their child’s unwanted behaviour. This can be even more difficult when the child is autistic. It is important that as a parent of an autistic child, you recognise that discipline is more than just punishing a child for “naughty” behaviour, but modifying bad behaviour into something more constructive.

About discipline

Discipline is helping your child learn how to behave – as well as how not to behave. It works best when you have a warm and loving relationship with your child.

Discipline and discipline strategies are positive. They’re built on talking and listening. They guide all children towards:

knowing what behaviour is appropriate – whether it’s at home, a friend’s house, child care, preschool or school

managing their own behaviour and developing important skills like the ability to get along well with others, now and as they get older

learning to understand, manage and express their feelings.
