I have a neice that is 15 years old. She is deaf and (not officially been diagnosed) shows signs of autism. She is having outbursts of pinching,choking others, scratching and screaming out. My mother (who is raising her, and has since birth) is being bruised in the process because my neice has incredible strength. She is having fits of anger at school, as well, when she doesn't get her way, and if people will not look at her when she signs things over and over again. I know that she gets frustrated with that, as anyone would. We feel that we need to help her with this...this is not something that is acceptable in society. Things at home are very stable (however, we did experience a death about 6 months ago). Could this be part of the problem? These outbursts just started about 3 weeks ago. She is a very loving child, and this isn't typical for her. Please help if you can...we are desperate for any advise. Thank you so much!
