Behaviours and needs of pupils with ASD vary from one child to another, as with any child. A strategy that has worked with one child in a particular situation may not work with another child or, for that matter, even with the same child in a different situation!

Permit time out if child is becoming over-stimulated.

It is important to give the child a quiet, distraction-free learning area. Too many pictures, bright colours and noise could be difficult for some children to cope with.
Other than that, no guidance for what the teaching assistant(or anybody else) should do in that situation.

The child was distressed beforehand, any action taken was in order to try and calm the child down(ie time out, quiet room).

If there is no 100% correct answer, why is the teaching assistant supposed to have come up with one herself.
