How I Stopped Aggression in My Autistic Child | Early Intervention & Long-Term Parenting

Описание: How I Stopped Aggression in My Autistic Child | Early Intervention & Long-Term Parenting

Aggression in autism can feel scary — especially when your child is nonverbal and overwhelmed. I’ve lived it. My daughter, diagnosed at 15 months, had no words and constant meltdowns. But today, at 22, she’s calm, respectful, and emotionally aware.

This video is about what I did — and what you can start doing — to manage aggression before it becomes dangerous. It takes time, consistency, and more patience than you ever knew you had… but it works.

🧠 In this episode:

Why early intervention is everything when it comes to autism-related aggression

How I used redirection instead of punishment (no “don’t” or “stop!”)

The mindset shift from reacting to training tolerance

What practicing emotional regulation looks like over the years

Why aggressive behavior is not “bad” — it’s a message

✨ Tools + Parenting Strategies That Helped:

Respectful, repetitive language (even before speech develops)

Redirection over correction

Teaching sensory tolerance through small, consistent exposure

Allowing unplug time (earmuffs, quiet spaces)

Watching for signs of overstimulation and leaving without apology

💬 This isn’t about perfection — it’s about commitment.
If your child is still little and struggling, start now.
If they’re older and you feel behind — you’re not. You’ve got time.
