He Tries to Bite Me
I have a ten year old autistic boy as a patient who occasionally tries to bite me. He used to try it much more when we first started treatment but lately not as much, in fact rarely. I always say that what the practitioner of Hemispheric Integration Therapy does often does not look like much but many times what we ask of the child can be a very powerful stimulus and quite demanding. It is why and when we are doing something that is the art. Pushing a child to”exercise the weak part of the brain may require mommies help also as no one know that child like mommy( most moms are great.) But often what the child needs can be difficult to do and very frustrating . Also, to once again make the working out analogy, it has to be hard enough but not too hard. But the sessions can not be too easy either. I ran across the term alpha rage on a blog relating to my experience with the biting. I hope this expands your awareness.
