Ask:

I have a beautiful and sometimes a little monster of a child. He got Autism and he is 5 years old. Now just a fornight ago he started to bite . he will bite his cousins. But the odd thing is he will do this bitting behind our back when no one is watching . He attack one child at his school . the teacher told me not to worry about it. He also go to daycare which he started to push the other children around but this time he burst into tears and scream like he been hurt .
How do I teach him that pushing and bitting is not on. See i try to smack him but it backfire due to he like it the pressure of the hit . It sound weird but he has come up to me and ask me to hit him in the face which I refuse do to it and he will hit me to get me to hit him..
I am puzzle on why is my child act like this ?

Answer:

The kid might just want attention, he only does it behind your back b/c he wants to test you to see what you’ll do. If you give him the attention that he needs and love him more than you would a normal child and it will teach him to love others. Also when he cries cuz he hits a kid maybe its b/c he knows its wrong but something makes it uncontrollable inside him. if you constantly teach him that its wrong but you still love him soon enough he’ll get it..
