I tend to meltdown over interruptions. My cat is purring, I'm putting something together, and then my cat gets up, and I'm for some reason enraged at her audacity to get up. I tell myself it makes no sense to get upset and then move on, but a huge part of that is metacognition, knowing that I'm autistic and prone to outbursts over interruptions, or performing under certain stressors. I felt like a giant asshole my whole life, I couldn't listen to anything and perform a task at the same time, and if I tried, I'd get angry and try to make all the sounds stop. I'd tell people "please stop talking until I'm done", because I couldn't put together a more emotionally intelligent sentence in the moment. Now I have a canned phrase, pre-planned for my moments "I'm really struggling pay attention right now, just doing a few things at once, please let me wrap this up and we can pick up where we left off, I'll be right there".

Christmas has me in a 2 week meltdown!! Thank god it’s over! Hope your move goes well ❤

my mom was a house flipper, I've had so many moves I stopped counting in the 60ish range. I had a security blanket. As long as I had ONE constant thing even if every thing else changed I was OK. I'm 52 and it's in my nightstand. Find your anchor and always keep it with you.

I'm melting down because I used to be able to save favorite YouTube shorts to playlists but YouTube changed that capability. Only can like and share. Thanks YT

As soon as he said textures in food I thought of this time I had like a juicy roast chicken for the first time and it had the texture of those groups of tiny thin wild mushrooms so I freaked out, called it mushroom chicken and refused to eat it now I just eat dry chicken 🙃

My husband hoarding our house down so I can’t function and find anything plus he hasn’t kept up on things breaking and now I feel like my house is falling down around me. I have meltdowns almost everyday over it.

[clairefacer]

We have a safe word. To say I'm rumbling I need a break/breather or you to back me up just incase it isn't witnessed say we are in a different room. So far it's helpful.

I almost melted down during work today, because the calls were triggering my sensitivity to sound, and a caller had me on the phone past the end of my shift. 😖

The triggers of the autistic is their responsibility. It isn't the world's obligation to tiptoe around mental illness...

[earnhar]

What’s the difference between meltdown and anxiety attack or are they the same?

[pinkgoth]

That meltdown footage was hard to watch

[moeaiatalitali]

My heart to you bruv. I have meltdowns and have to leave the room. People thinks it's panic attacks until I mention my Aspie. I still get triggered by ASMR 😱and cold soup

I’m finding Christmas food A big trigger. I’ve always been fine before. My tummy is very sore 😢and I really want to go back to everyday food.

I've had the wonderful opportunity to have a narcissist mother who not only traumatized me as a child but continues to disregard my autism and actively trigger me because she also has histrionic disorder and needs to have attention on her. My father gifted me as kitten to keep me calm. Well she stole it and sent me a text saying it's not mine anymore. Talk about triggering

Any suggestions to help 18 yo sleep at night??

My triggers are melted into my ptsd. I was FD paramedic for about a decade. When I have flashbacks its enough to push me at or over the edge. I can generally control the meltdowns, it's the shutdowns. Where I can't do or accomplish any thing. It's like a lucid coma or feeling like a zombie going through the motions. I worry about my loved ones because any potential danger will make me remember a patient. Then I'm so scared it will happen to them too because I've seen people die of X so often.

My youngest son looks like that while he is having a meltdown. Now I know what's going on with him. How can I help him through the meltdown. He was born Down Syndrome but he has every Is characteristics of being Autism as well. I've been watching your videos...alot! In this short video the first meltdown you showed looked just as my son looks, exactly & until I started watching your videos I didn't understand what was wrong or what he was doing. I want to know how I can help him through it. He's non verbal too & when he has one it's like he's screaming in silence. With his fists balled up and I'm thinking... "what did I do, down syndrome aren't supposed to get angry, not like this" I was freaking out too cause I thought he was angry with me. Thankyou for making these videos, I've learned so much 🙂

Safety bags is a game saver you pack you suitcases for what needed for a month, then all safe items 2 back up cloths undies all the good tooth baby’s what ever make you calm, in a back pack then you live out of those while packing 🥰🥰.
