Does everyone have meltdowns?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm going to define meltdown as "An uncontrollable outward negative response to sensory stimuli."
I can't speak for when I was younger, but at least right now I don't have meltdowns. When I am in public I am normally over stimulated (This is what I call it when to much stimuli is having a negative affect on me, though it is very mild and easily manageable,but can still make it not worth it). When there is a lot of noise I can get overloaded, during these times if something else was added on top, or I was emotional then I'm pretty sure I could have a meltdown. When there are lots of loud noises I get really mad and will shake afterwards and twitch.

Not everyone with autism has autistic meltdowns.

Shutdown, not meltdown, always. Ironically I think having a meltdown would just provide more stimulus I couldn't handle.

I get overwhelmed and anxious in crowds and around noisy energetic kids but I can hide it on the outside as to not draw attention to myself, although sometimes I may tut or walk away quickly but that's out of feelings of irritation. I do that because I want people to know I like my space, without making a scene in any way.

I have had panic attacks before in crowds, as in heart palpitations, sweaty palms and difficulty breathing, and also having the urge to cry.

When I reach home after battling vast crowds and obnoxious kids, I feel really relieved, and I tend to stay indoors for the rest of the day to avoid people, as my social anxiety levels go up.

I occasionally get meltdowns, but not as often as I did when I was a kid. Nowadays, I can often hold it off until it turns into a shutdown instead, which at least doesn't draw attention to me. I'm so quiet and withdrawn most of the time, no one else even seems to notice when I have a shutdown.

I can't recall ever having anything I know to have been a meltdown, but then I don't have sensory issues other than being bothered by tags on clothes and stuff like that.

I might have had a mild shutdown about five months ago, but I'm not sure whether that's what it was. It definitely wasn't brought on by anything sensory related; I'd been going through a very stressful time over several weeks, and then office politics were just too much one morning and I sort of went into a "do whatever you want to me, I don't care" kind of mode.

I don't recall sensory changing at all during it, but, while kind of scary that I didn't care about anything, it actually felt kind of strangely comforting, in that I didn't have to worry about what was going to happen or anything like that. It lasted for maybe 10-20 minutes sitting in a chair, then things gradually returned to their previous stressful ways.

Does that sound like a shutdown? It definitely wasn't normal, but there could be some other defensive things that the brain does during stressful situations.

Not a meltdown, but the last couple of days I have just about felt ready to faint. The heat is in triple digits, very abnormal where I live, where it is typically in the 70s. I have felt an oppressive feeling throughout my entire body.

No meltdowns here. I'm the most stable person I know. So rock-steady that it's worrying.

I get meltdowns and shutdowns.

I am able to "save" for later. Meaning that if something very upsetting happens at school i can keep myself together until i get home or on the way home and have a meltdown then.

Last summer was the worst metldown-wise. I had so many meltdowns and a regression and stuff. I feel like i am back to normal now (well, almost).
