You are doing the right thing! I am certainly not an expert, but I am sure that physical discipline is not the right thing to do.

I not only have a child with Aspergers, I have had quite a few children in my daycare with complex behavioral issues. You do need to let them know you mean business, and follow through on any discipline you feel is appropriate. I have had parents that will verbalize a rule to a child 15 times before actually responding and making the child go on a time out.

It is really important to find out why you daughter is reacting the way she is and then devise a plan. You are good mom and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise!
