Behaviour that challenges
Definition
From:
NICE Guideline CG142 - Autism spectrum disorder in adults: diagnosis and management
A term used to describe behaviour that is a result of the interaction between individual and environmental factors, and includes stereotypic behaviour (such as rocking or hand flapping), anger, aggression, self-injury, and disruptive or destructive behaviour. Such behaviour is seen as challenging when it affects the person's or other people's quality of life and or jeopardises their safety.
