Abstract
he symptoms of autism can affect an individual across their development
and lifespan. The presence of co-occurring problems, such as intellectual disability and behavior disorders,
can greatly impact the complexity of the core symptoms of the
condition. It has been demonstrated that behavioral problems in autism
are prevalentwith a range from 35.8% to 94.3% (Kozlowski, Matson amp;
Rieske, 2012) and a large number of studies identifying at least half of
participants with autism engaging in one or more challenging behaviors
(e.g., Matson, Wilkins, amp; Macken, 2009; Murphy, Healy, amp; Leader,
2009). Aggression is often observed as one form of challenging
behavior in autism and can threaten both personal safety and the safety
of others and can also significantly impact on ones exposure to greater
numbers of learning opportunities. H
