Autism head-banging Meltdown in the car... flipping out

Post Reply New Topic

One time when i was in elementary 6th grade (never went to middle or high school) i was in theback seat of the car next to my aspie bro Chris, with my dad driving and my mom in the front seat. It was a busy day were me and my family went to melbourne square mall and barnes and noble, i was becoming very tired, stressed and wanted to go home.

at that time i'd always hop onto my bed and play minecraft pe on my mom's kindle fire after school, i loved doing that and would play minecraft for hours by myself inside my well-dark room without any lights on. id play it every day after school and feel extremely upset if i didnt play it

but as my family were driving home, there was a car accident involving somebody elses' car and it lasted for about 2 hours. at the time the accident hapened it was 10 o' clock PM which is past my bed time

worrying id never have time to play minecraft before the next morning,

in the car at 10 pm i began screaming, crying, covering my ears and banging my head against the car seat, kicking my feet against my mommy's seat, i didn't say anything at all a dont speak much but i cry often

the screaming i made was extremely loud so my mom turned on a music station which i was in no mood for so it made me scream louder she said "you're hurting my ears!! !"

my head began to hurt from the intense screaming, crying and banging

the police came and wondered why there was a little 11-year old girl screaming in the car. my mom answered "our daughter Rachel has autism and is flipping out she has a meltdown"

when we came home 2 hours later i went straight to bed, my parents didnt punish me or anything, they didnt say anything but went to bed

i began to calm down so i could sleep that night, next day everything was peaceful

has anything like that ever hapened to you?
