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.

I'm Dr. Mary Barbera and I have been helping parents and professionals for more than two decades ago when my first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with a speech delay at 2 and then with autism at age 3. Since then, I became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Host of the Turn Autism Around podcast (with more than 1.7 million downloads), and best-selling author of two books (including my newest book Turn Autism Around: An Action Guide for Parents of Young Children with Early Signs of Autism).

In addition to free content, I post daily across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. I also offer online courses for parents and professionals. Behavior Analyst BACB CEUs and Early Intervention contact hours are also included for professionals.

Whether you have a toddler with speech delays and/or excessive tantrums or you're a parent or professional helping early intervention clients, I encourage you to subscribe to my YouTube channel and join me for videos almost every day that will help you increase talking, decrease tantrums, and improve eating, sleeping, and potty training!
