- My first experience with an autistic meltdown was not what I expected! Sure I'd read about autism meltdowns and had them described to me, but it's still not the same as seeing one first hand. This is life as an autism parent.

I have autism and meltdowns are thankfully quite rare for me; mostly because I’m almost always around the right people. What I have in my mind is what I’m totally fixated on. If it gets abruptly changed last minute, I become distressed. I used to go to this day program and I had a lot of moments that are embarrassing to look back on. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great program; it just has rules and regulations that are contradictory to my personal needs. My last specialist was caring and empathetic, but she made a few mistakes that didn’t go well and other times, she did something that her hands were tied on that caused a meltdown. It didn’t always result in a meltdown, but it always causes me distress and anxiety. The program’s higher ups didn’t understand even though my specialist did. When I was told I would be dropped off at home first, that’s what I expected. Change that plan at the last minute, and I did NOT take it very well. Another time, during drop offs, I was listening to my music and the specialist told me to socialize instead. This got me all sour and this led to an argument that was stressful for me and made me feel unheard. The overall situation there didn’t get any better so I chose to leave. That was the right decision. I’m much better off now than I was before I left; my anxiety has subsided.
Soooo what you said about the autistic mind is true.
Mom should've never let that happen. Melt downs are highly stressful for Autistic children, for what? To teach the step dad a lesson about hubris?
What am i supposed to learn from this?
First comment out of 5 yearz huh
