221. When Behavior Speak; Medical Insights Into Autism Aggression
Mar 13, 2025In this episode of the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast, Shannon dives deep into the hidden medical causes behind aggressive behaviors in children with autism.
Aggression isn’t just “bad behavior” — it’s often a way for your child to communicate that something’s not right. Join Shannon as she shares relatable scenarios, actionable strategies, and medical insights to help you uncover the root causes of aggression, from gastrointestinal issues to hormonal imbalances and more.
Aggression might not be just “bad behavior.” It could be communication. But what if I told you that there could be medical reasons behind your child’s aggression that you may have never considered?
✔️ Could it be their gut?
✔️ Are they dealing with hidden pain?
✔️ Could something as simple as a vitamin deficiency be the culprit?
Too many doctors dismiss these behaviors as “just autism,” but I refuse to accept that, and I don’t want you to either. In this episode, I’m diving into the REAL reasons your child might be struggling and what you can do to help them.
With compassion and expertise, she’ll guide you on how to advocate for your child, work with the right doctors, and bring clarity and calm to your parenting journey.
