Aggressive behaviour in autistic individuals accessing mental health services

  • Applicant: Andre Strydom
  • Project ID: 23-115

Aggression is a common form of challenging behaviour among individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), affecting as many as two out of three individuals with serious consequences. In this study, we aim to update the evidence on frequency, type and factors associated with, and outcomes of, aggressive challenging behaviour in adults with ASD.
