Distressed Behaviour in Autistic Children

Distressed behaviour is difficult or challenging behaviour which create problem in mind and body of individual who face it. Challenging behaviour are a recurrent concern for individual with ASD. The main objective of the study is to seek the effect of distressed behaviour in autistic children. This study also aimed to seek correlation between three (Psychological, Physiological and Social behaviour) dimensions. The sample consisted of 16(n=12 males, n=4 females) from children in their childhood. Data analysis was executed through SPSS version 29.0 and Karl Pearson correlation coefficient was used on the collected data to test the hypothesis. Significant correlation found between Psychological and Physiological behaviour [Karl Pearson correlation coefficient is found to be .650 significant at 0.01 level]; Psychological behaviour and total sample [Karl Pearson correlation coefficients is found to be .838 significant at 0.01 level]; Physiological behaviour and total sample [Karl Pearson correlation coefficients is found to be .882 significant at 0.01 level];Social behaviour and total sample [Karl Pearson correlation coefficients is found to be .626 significant 0.01 level] and the hypotheses related to above correlations were rejected. Significant correlation found between Psychological and Social behaviour [Karl Pearson correlation coefficients is found to be .343 is not statistically significant at 0.01 level]; Social and Physiological behaviour [Karl Pearson correlation coefficients is found to be .295 is not statistically significant at 0.01 level] and the hypotheses related to above correlation were accepted.
