Hi @5ha8z, this must be really difficult. I hope the links and numbers provided by @thespiceman are helpful.
How old is your daughter at the moment? I just want to try and give you the most suitable information.
I'm also tagging @SparkleSheffieldAutismAdvisors to see if they have any further suggestions.

Hi @Chloe_Scope, my daughter is doing well thank you, her behaviour is better than before but has started to swear which I'm really worried about. The more I tell her off the more she tends to do it

Hi @5ha8z we had this problem with our daughter, not sure if this will help with your daughter, my solution was to sit her down with a good dictionary and told her to look up all the bad words she knew and I would give her a £1 for each word she could not find.
Fortunately did not cost me anything, but after learning the meaning of the words she dropped using some and used others less often.
When they move onto secondary school they tend to have a lot more freedom and exposed to a wider range of influences. Like 'I hate you' swearing is used to get a reaction, if they are not awarded for using swearing - ie a reaction they tend to use it less. My daughter still swears a lot when upset and I have pulled her on this and her response was she uses it to add emphasis. I can see her 1st in creative writing was worth the work she put in
Try recording her when she is swearing a lot and play it back when she is calm, then ask her how she would feel if you spoke to her like that.As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change! -
@Geoark,,with my daughter is that she does the opposite of what we tell her. We will have to try and not pay attention to her
Thank you -
Thank you for the update @5ha8z, I hope this calms down without attention. If there is anything we can do to help then please do let us know.
