Most people living with Autism do not know how to cope or rationalize in the way that is considered common. So being told something like there is no pizza is a very hard thing for a person with Autism to hear and deal with. It is very common, that this can result in the person screaming, and attacking themselves and others as a result. This in no way is a temper tantrum. This is part of the frustrating disorder of Autism and the families living with this experience this everyday
