There has been a lot on the news lately about autism. This is a condition that is widely misunderstood. Some mistake it as mental retardation, but they are not the same thing. There are some cases where children have both, but most autistics are actually very bright and score high on intelligence tests. They say that more and more children are being diagnosed, and that this is an epidemic, but it might just be that the testing for autism is better than it used to be. Whatever the case, parents should be aware of autistic behaviors so they can see a doctor if anything seems to be wrong.

Everyone has to deal with aggressive behaviors, although few people really stop to give it any serious thought most of the time. When most of us think about aggressive behavior, we picture it in its most severe forms. You might think about the one time you got into a fight or, if you’re really unlucky, a time you were beat up and mugged or otherwise attacked. But of course, behavioral aggression comes in many different and more subtle forms than that. There are passive aggressive behaviors, hostility manifesting in name-calling, and outright violence. All of these can be categorized as aggressive behavior, but they differ in severity.
