Abstract:
Parents of children with autism and related disabilities were surveyed about their children's challenging behaviors and resources they felt would be helpful in managing these behaviors. Responses indicated a high frequency of challenging behaviors, including many aggressive and other destructive behaviors occurring more frequently than once per day. Teachers, family members, and published materials were identified as the most helpful of currently available resources; contingency management, as the most successful management approach. Respondents noted many additional needed resources. Results were discussed in relation to continuing research on families' needs, strengths, and judgments pertaining to the demands related to disabilities and challenging behaviors.

Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
