Maybe a meltdown can come as a relief.

Trying to deal with online personality tests that tend to be popping out with a great many jobs I apply with the end result being, I failed thereby, I don't get the position nor even an interview.

I hate those tests too. I prefer paper applications. Fortunately, not all jobs require those tests (at least from my experience). Good luck
Thanks Miss TheSilentOne

Wow did I miss something? How do you have a meltdown on demand? They just kind of happen with me... about every hour lately.
Maybe I should cry a lake and name it after me

I just meant that if she is full of emotions and at the "breaking point", it might end in a meltdown, and that it might feel like a relief at least when it's over
No, I can't have a meltdown on demand either, infact I don't really know if I have meldowns.. What is the difference between a meltdown and just crying or being angry like not autistic people?

I think the difference is the intensity, and that it stops you from functioning. That's only my experience, though; when I have a proper meltdown my brain stops working, I feel like its detached somehow from my body. On the other hand I have had meltdowns of emotional clarity, where I can articulate my feelings better than I ever thought. When this happens I'll be explaining why I'm angry or sad to someone, and it's like the words I'm speaking aren't my own, like I'm hearing them for the first time. Those one's are weird, though, because I have no way of knowing if what I'm saying is the truth.

Also this is nice (if depressing) imagery. Very poetic

I can't really relate to what you're saying.. I can try and explain how I experience strong emotions though. If I feel like crying I either do it, or suppress it, I don't know how to regulate emotions. Like a therapiest once said, that people can experience something painfull and then actually wait untill they get home on there own and cry then instead. I do have (at least I think so) good knowledge of why I cry and why I'm angry, and I can articulate it, but that might stem from YEARS of therapy.
Actually once in a sort of group therapy sesion, I "slipt away" in my mind, from the others. I didn't notice it myself, but suddenly the therapiest touched my arm, and asked "How are YOU doing?" and another member of the group said "I was about to say the same thing" So basicly they had noticed that I was having a hard time. And then I just started crying loud in front of everyone, as I explained what was causing me pain. That was intense!

That does sound intense! Did you find group therapy to be useful? I have always shied away from it.
Yes, it does sound like we have different meltdown experiences; sometimes I know the logical reason I'm upset, but the emotions make it too hard to understand/access/process that logic at the time. As for regulating emotions; I think I can in a way, because a lot of the time I just don't feel any. Like if I am at work I'll 'switch off' my emotions and any unnecessary brain function. At the same time though, when I do get emotional, I get really bad, and I can't do anything to help myself.

I can imagine that it's a good thing to be able to switch off the emotions when you are at work
I'm disabled myself, but I remember it was a lot of stress relating to people when I was working.The so called group therapy didn't last long. After a couple of times we ended up being just three who regulary showed up; me and two guys. I've found out afterwards that one of the guys have been diagnosed with asperger also. So I'm sorry for the one of us that was not autistic
Anyway to me it was a positive experience, because it was a social setting that I liked. I don't think you can compare this to real group therapy, wich I also would be afraid to try.
