Key Takeaways:

  1. Fever is not caused by aberrant behavior itself.
  2. Prolonged meltdowns with intense physical activity may raise body temperature.
  3. Stress-induced fever is possible but only in extreme situations.

Fever cannot be caused by aberrant behavior, unless the child is over-stressed by prolonged episodes of meltdowns in addition to marked physical activity, which can increase his/her body temperature.
