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.

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!
Thank you
