Crowds make me feel like I'm in danger. I go in to overdrive looking for threats. It's sensory overload, which is like being "dizzy" plus "nauseous." But it's also brain over-clock, which burns me out.

If crowds is your only thing, I think you need a second opinion.

First, if you want to get in shape, get in shape. Excuses are excuses. Go to the gym every day and workout until you can't move. Then repeat. Try crossfit; it will wreck you. Follow a diet based on nutrition. Exercise is so easy it's hard. If you aren't dripping gallons of sweat, work harder. Or, fo...

20 years ago, I was you. I didn't have a diagnosis until 40. So you're in good shape. Nobody can hear me in a social setting. I speak in normal tones, shout even, no luck. Bars are no bueno for me. If I were talking to my younger self, I'd say: don't try to be an NT. All they do is play mating ritua...

If you want to program, program. Start small. Borrow a "teach yourself python" book from your library. Work through it. Be proud of every program you write. If you love it and stick with it, writing an "operating system" is just a more complex version of the same thing. The harde...

I'm sorry you are going through this. I am not a professional, so this is just an amateur's opinion, but it sounds more like a seizure, like some event in his brain than a typical meltdown. Does anything seem to trigger the events? How long do they last? My daughter gets stuck emotionally and melts ...
