Metabolic considerations in the evaluation of autistic individuals
Challenging behaviors can be disruptive to daily life for individuals with autism. These include, but are not limited to, self-injury, aggression, property destruction, tantrums, disruptiveness, noncompliance, and repetitive behavior/stereotypy. According to ARI’s E-2 database, approximately 59% of individuals with autism engage in self-injury, aggression, and/or destructiveness at some point in their lifetime.
Further, a recent follow-up study by Laverty et al. found that 44% of children diagnosed with autism engaging in self-injurious behaviors exhibited the same behaviors a decade later (Laverty et al, 2020). Due to larger body size and strength, these persistent behaviors can become more severe with age and impact the quality of life for individuals and their caretakers or parents.
