Techniques to avoid this harmful behavior of your autistic child are self-management. Teachers, educators or parents should have this factor when dealing autism.

Teaching the child self-management
Teaching the child self-management will help him in his daily activity. It can be taught at school or even during therapy. If he is used to practice self-management then eventually he would learn to control himself than being controlled by others. The key factor is to give him a program that he can monitor his behavioral attitude on hi own. You can start in a few minutes of time and gradually increase it. From time to time, you can remind the child that he is in good control over himself so that he may be aware of his behavioral attitude.

Self-evaluation
The process of monitoring his self is called self-evaluation. At the time the child is in control of his own self, he will tend to evaluate his past from his current behavior. Give clear goals with the child. You can start by giving him goals not to be aggressive to others in school for one certain day without injecting self-injury. You help monitor his development by asking every 15 minutes if his objective was attained. If it is not realized, then perhaps the child is not ready yet or maybe the goal is unrealistic. Make sure that goals you set are attainable, once have positive result on this initial stage then you can proceed increasing the goal. If he is successful in obtaining self-management, then he cans a positive outlook on the result of it.
One effective way to implement self-management is by rewarding the child. It is better if you ask the child the rewards he wants so that it may give him the urge to attain the goal. Reinforcement will help the child achieve this good behavior and he will have clear intentions of achieving it through the rewards that gives him motivation. Using this strategy will make your self-management system effective. Start to give simple rewards. It could be smiley faces for every goal achieved or sad faces for failure of not meeting the goal, and always work out for higher goals like giving him special activity or buying him a new toy if he accumulates certain number of smiley face.

Rewards are necessary
It is a fact that these developments cannot be done at one glance. You must be keen that time is one of the elements in self-management system. The reward system will reinforced the good behavior goal you set. The reward should be set by the child so that he will have interest of achieving the goal in order to get the reward he wants. If the autistic person is already on his maturity age, then this treatment is best for him.
