Your kindergarten student with autism has been making steady progress. During your next session, however, she displays more repetitive behaviours and resistance to structured tasks. What is the most likely cause of this change?
  1. Marti is being naughty.
  2. Marti has had a major change in her schedule.
  3. Marti is not feeling well.
  4. Marti’s family is having problems.
Explanation
Answer: C.  It is a strong possibility that your student is not feeling well. Children with autism often cannot communicate when they feel sick. Instead, the way they react may include resistance to expectations and a recurrence of repetitive behaviours.
