Why is my kids behavior better at school than at home?

Some children with autism have difficulty with unexpected or unfavorable changes in their routine. The changes trigger an unpleasant reaction within the child, but instead of a mild tantrum or a sad facial expression, the child often overreacts with aggression. nnSome educational programs do an excellent job of recognizing this. They place a strong emphasis on maintaining a familiar routine, and as such, there are fewer negative behaviors from the child. Suppose the child’s parents are overwhelmed with many additional responsibilities. In that case, they may not provide enough warnings for changes that are about to occur, the child’s behavior will be worse at home than at school.
