The concept of choice
If you can't make a choice, you have no sense of autonomy or control. Biting and spitting and swearing only give apparent, in the moment, control. It does not last. The price is loss of self esteem or, as Tina saw it, sadness. With no autonomy and no sense of personal control, a vital human need, essential for emotional health, remains unmet. For children with autism have just the same needs as any other human.
