toddler getting violent

[edita0522]

I dont know what to do. My daughter has autism and it seems like everyday she gets more angry and aggresive. Is there some type of therapy I can put her to help out.

   The sooner a child with autism gets help, the better the chances for a normal life.  The parent can be a big part of this - with the correct training.  As I said, this is something that does not show improvement overnight, but she will improve.  You need to be aware of the process and the expectations.
   If you haven't already done so - do check out this site - http://grasp.org/page/what-is-as-autism-pdd

No not yet

      Improvement will not happen overnight.  This is a very stubborn condition - but improvement will happen.
      However, you should also be getting training in what to expect and how to work with her.   Is this happening?

   Joy has a very good point about talking to your doctor.  You didn't say how old your child is, but the sooner a child with Autism starts getting professional help - the better their life will be.  Public schools will provide the help starting at about 3 I believe - contact your local special education department in the school system.  But, your doctor should be able to provide you the necessary contacts - or find a different doctor that can help.

My son has is a nonverbal autistic, he doesn't get angry but can be very aggressive due to sensory issues. Talk to your doctor about possible therapies for your son. My son is taking Speech, Occupational therapy and ABA(Applied Behavior Analysis therapy)
