  Case: Suddenly Uncooperative Student
In one of my classrooms, I have a child with mild Autism. I have known this child for about a year now and I have become accustomed to his habits, but suddenly he has become very frustrated with classroom activities. He becomes frustrated when he cannot get a specific place in line, and he becomes frustrated when he does not win in every activity.

I'm not entirely certain what to do, as the normal punishments we have set up for him have stopped working. We would normally have him sit down for a short time, but now he refuses to stay in place in the chair, sits improperly, and tries to move whenever I am not looking at him.

I feel like I have suddenly lost control with this child and I am wondering what happened/how I can get it back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a one-on-one with this student and ask him why he feels he acts out this way. Call home and ask if theres any new medicine, etc. Maybe it is time to set new goals and accommodations on his IEP.
