Useful information for Neurotypicals on Autism Meltdowns

Post Reply New Topic

Neurotypical folks don't know enough about Aspergers or Autism, I see people are trying to help if I talk to a neurotypical about my most recent meltdown tonight, my husband died a year and a half ago, and I cannot cope with the simplest things going wrong. My husband was kidnapped and brutally tortured several times a few years ago, then he took his own life. Before my husband went through this. I kept meltdowns to myself, they were manageable. Since its been unbelievable and so hard to control and it actually is patronising to this disability to get the comments I do from neurotypicals trying to help but they are actually just showing pure ignorance to this invisible disability. Autism is a disability like being born without an arm or a leg, ''sofeggio frequencies, '' energy clearances'' and all the new age BS, stuff people are offering advice on doesn't help, and it just shows your lack of understanding, I, for one have tried everything like this since I was very young, 14 years old, when I had my first tumour in fact. But neurotypical peoples' response shows little understanding of this disability even today. Its a real shame the general public have a big misunderstanding of this disability. It just makes me feel even more isolated. I've meditated since I was 14, listened to all kinds of ''solfeggio'' frequencies for years, done tons of meditations and some that took me to incredible states of peace and bliss, eat healthily and so on, but sorry folks none of it helps an Autism meltdown. Especially after going through severe stress, for me such as losing one's soul mate and after witnessing that person go through brutal torture and losing them and losing ones closest community of friends too. Autism is an unseen disability that cannot magic away. Our brains are wired differently to neurotypicals, dealing with stress is an entirely different approach. Im just trying to express myself here and end up having to educate others on this disability, which takes more energy, this is a whole other number of chapters outside the arena of depression and PTSD which I have already written about. Autism is a Brain disability, neurotypcials giving advice to Aspergers /Autism, is like squirrels trying to give rabbits advice. Its Brain species difference Thanks. Right now I really am peeved with neurotypicals, its not their fault. Give them this advice below, we all need to educate them

Wow, Antevasin. My heart so much goes out to you. I am so sorry about reading what your husband went through. I don't even have words to describe what I am feeling for you and your family. I am sending you lots of love and prayers for healing.

And you are so right about neurotypicals needing to be educated. It is so harmful to us when they remain ignorant.

Like the others have said I am very sorry you have had to go through all this trauma and the increase in the amount and intensity of your meltdowns is very understandable.

Thank you for the advice link and thanks to Dr. Kenneth Roberts for providing this advice. The lack of understanding of the difference between tantrums and Autistic meltdowns and shutdowns is both frustrating and harmful.
