How common is challenging behaviour?

How common is challenging behaviour?
Studies in the UK have suggested that approximately 6 per cent of people
who have intellectual disabilities probably have challenging behaviour.
Some evidence suggests that challenging behaviours can start in childhood
and persist into adulthood.
Challenging behaviours appear to be more common amongst men.
Some challenging behaviours seem to be related to additional physical or
sensory disability, such as difficulties in getting around or problems with
hearing or seeing. Some types of challenging behaviour such as self-injury
also appear to be related to communication difficulties.
