Crying is common in children with autism and without autism. Regardless though, many parents ask, “why is my child crying?” Crying problem behaviors usually always correlate with demands being too high and reinforcement being too low. When a child is crying, it’s almost never a good idea to ignore the crying and continue to place demands on the child. Many parents don’t know how to handle screaming, or how to handle crying in toddlers and tend to act in a way that only worsens the problem behavior.
Crying should not be something that we accept as part of autism, or in any child. If a child is crying, there is going to be little to no motivation from them to stop crying if demands don’t change. That’s why today’s video I’m outlining steps you can take to resolve crying in kids with autism.

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with development delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey. I’ll be providing weekly autism resources that you don’t want to miss.

[@blueblousedesigns]

When I was in school, I cried a lot, especially in math class. After graduating high school in 2015, I heard about this technique where you fold the assignment sheet in half and after completing the top half of the assignment, the student can take a five minute break, then move onto the next half. If at any point the student starts to break down and cry, I suggest you have them take deep breaths (Weil's 4-7-8 method is a really good breathing technique), count to 10 backwards, or splash cold water on their face. After the student regains emotional control, explain each step in only a few simple words, or do a few of the math problems together, until the concept sinks in.

My 5 year old son is verbal. He can communicate when he is in pain. He cries during 3 instances. 1. when a toy is taken away or goes missing 2. When someone tells him no or corrects him. 3. When dad gets up at dawn and makes noise.

[@marybarbera]

Yes, these are pretty common times but we can offer supports to prevent the crying. When a toy is taken, is there reinforcement or alternatives to help redirect. When something goes missing, offering high level reinforcement for choosing something else. Being very positive and avoiding no unless it is a safety issue, rather reinforcing when he is doing what we want . These are examples of supporting and preventing.

[@NebraskQUEa]

My 3 year old non verbal daughter often wakes up crying and screaming in the middle of the night and it takes hours for her to go back to sleep. Likewise sometimes she just cries in the days hours and refuses to be comforted. I'm hoping to learn something

[@mysterymissingmurder3609]

I disagree that having the attitude that crying is a bad thing around children. This can do so much harm to them. I was told I was bad for crying and made to feel shame for it, and that caused me so many problems. It made me afraid to talk about my emotions, afraid to go to funerals, visit dying relatives because the shame for crying was so strong. Even as an adult I cry when I get upset and I cannot control it because I try so hard not to. It made me mad when you said crying is never a good thing. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with crying, and if a child is crying it might have something to do with what the adult did or does not understand. One needs to talk to the child, and watch their own behavior and not be so focused on a child's crying. Showing emotions is a good thing. Find out what is causing it, talk to the child, and help them express their emotions with words. Most of all show some empathy and compassion. No one was ever allowed to console me when I was crying even though I didn't really do anything wrong. I just got in trouble for crying or dropping a fork sort of thing.

[@marybarbera]

I agree that we should never shame anyone for crying. My intent for this video was to show parents and caregivers that, when a child is crying a lot during therapy, it's NOT good therapy.

Hi Mary, hope your well. I have a 4 year old daughter who is showing signs of autism. She has delayed speech. She will cry when things are moved around. For example if the sofa cushions are untidy and I try to tidy them then she will cry and put them back how they were. Sometimes she will cry for a long time.

[@marybarbera]

That is hard! It sounds like we need to prevent the behavior until you can build skills needed to be able to move them. It sounds like she is very rigid and a bcba or an aba program like my online program can help. www.marybarbera.com/workshops

My son always being happy to go to school, his mom started working with him as RBT recently, we noticed that sometimes he refused to going to school and he crying a lot sometimes over an hour, some times he does some behavior in school bus trying to get out from the seat. So from last week I started to took him to the school, some times when we arrived at school he jumped out from the car and running towards his teacher, some time he waited me to go with him to the teacher, sometimes holding my hands until getting him in the class room but when I want to leave he started crying. In the end of the last week after he dressed his clothes he refused to going to school with crying a lot. I don’t know what is reason and how we can deal with this situation. He is 9 years old now

Its not crying that my son does- its more of a God-Awful WHINE that is more like a bratty kid not getting his way cry- it's such a trigger for me bc i have my own disorder issues with other things. Noises affect me too and can send me into serious irritation and being short tempered. Whining and crying is the number one trigger for me- especially when it's just bc he disagrees with something or doesn't get something. Bc he's not talking much, he does this screechy whine , and i try to calmly remind him to use his words, and i say the words it appears he is looking for, and sometimes i can get him to try and pronounce the words and others he just shakes his head yes. He absolutely says no when he means no now, at least like every other 2 yr old! But it would be extremely helpful if there was a channel or therapist or SOMETHING for parents of special needs kids, who are ALSO suffering from our own disorders- mental or developmental. I Dont want to ever be mean to my son, but after several times of trying to stop it, i can only take so much before i raise my voice- which works to stop the behavior, but i worry im only hurting him somehow, and definitely dont want that. I dont want him to end up borderline bc of my behaviors. Its really tough having mental issues, and even tougher having a child with them ALSO.

My online toddler course can help you learn how to provide an environment for your daughter that is so reinforcing that crying won't be much of an issue at all. We work through this by increasing her language skills and reducing problem behaviors. For more information, join me for a free workshop at www.marybarbera.com/workshops.

A child I work with is only two and is diagnosed on the spectrum. She doesn’t talk, and shows little to no verbal understanding. She cries for hours on end with just brief breaks in between for several hours. Her sensory bin doesn’t soothe her, she just wants to be held which I can’t do as I also have other kids. She will stop crying if held but other then that cries none stop, it’s hard to figure out how to help her since she’s so young and can’t talk. Any ideas????

[@marybarbera]

It is challenging for sure. She likely needs more specialized support. We have to work to prevent the crying. Her parents may want to investigate if she is having pain with her doctor.

My child is the exact same way

Everyone cries. Crying Is normal, needed, and healthy. Why would someone want a child or even an adult to bottle up their hard emotions? I do not think that is good.

[@marybarbera]

My point is that, if you're child is crying during therapy and not having any fun, the therapy isn't being done correctly.

Check out this podcast www.marybarbera.com/medical-conditions-associated-autism/. A medical assessment may be the best way to go.

What about just the opposite of what you’re saying. Plenty of reinforcement and not that much stimulation. And she has already ate and she’s just sitting there and then starts to cry and just Bellers out. We’re trying to comfort her let her be. If we put her down she just stands there and cries.

I would first rule out any medical issues and bring it up to her pediatrician. Next, I would highly recommend taking my toddler course, where I can teach you how to engage her at the learning table, increasing her language, and decrease problem behaviors like crying + more.

Hello from the UK my son is 4 in November he can now speak but he chooses to cry rather then use words he cries if his pizza slice snaps he cries if he wants the toilet he cries if you move a toy he cries if you make him a drink in a cup he doesn't approve of he cries when he plays with his brother and gets worked up so much it drives us mad. He cries if you tell him to do something different to what he's doing I'm at a loss of what to do he's under specialist help but covid have delayed everything we have got no where and had no help yet all we have had is a blood test and urine sample taken heard nothing back what do I do at the moment I'm trying to potty train him before he starts school full time I'm worried about how he's going to act around other children he has a manner of a 2 year old in my opinion after having 4 boys him being my youngest and the only problematic child I know he's not normal compared to other children his age and his brothers what self help can I get any help much appreciated best wishes 🙏 xxx He also has food phobia meal times are very stressful for him and he struggles to eat food some days he eats others he won't even the foods he likes he won't touch it depends on if he's having a good day or not some days he speaks loads others nothing . 🙈
