He does this whenever he walks next to him or when he's mad about something or frustrated about something and sometimes he pushes him and he falls please help any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@A MyAutismTeam Member Yes, praise for the good behaviors and block him and ignore the aggressive/negative behavior &block him before he even hits baby. Give him special time where it's just you & him doing something both of you enjoy.
It happened to me too, I understand how frustrating that can be.
My best to you.

i've learned that if you are exxagerative in the sense that, You child does a good thing praise them extremely well, they learn that they enjoy your praise and will seek it, which results into you being able to control the opposite behavior, My son used to hit his sister. when he got the basis down that he loves her and wouldn't like it done to himself {i've done it back to him} it registers, especially if you play out the pain and sorrow that results in his misbehavior} A better way to guide you would read or listen to autism breakthrough. there are many techniques that can work, it'll be based off your son.

The question is, what does anyone do when this happens?
