"I don’t know what is Autism, what is normal teenage behaviour, and what is naughtiness": Conceptualising child and adolescent to parent violence in the context of neurodevelopmental difference

Holt (2023)

This article shares findings from interviews with UK parents, mostly mothers, whose neurodivergent children showed physical or emotional violence towards them. Parents often felt confused about the cause—whether it was due to their child’s neurodevelopmental needs, typical teenage behaviour, or mental health issues—and found that standard advice didn’t help. The study highlights the need for better understanding and support for families facing these challenges.
