Meltdowns

Post Reply New Topic

Can you work on meltdowns? The people in the group home wants to work on my meltdowns.

Working on meltdowns might involve trying to identify anything that might trigger or sustain meltdowns when they do occur.

I would imagine, your group home would like to prevent your meltdowns from happening in the first place, if that is at all possible.

Like blitzkrieg said, figuring out the triggers is the first step.

It was the people here that made me have a meltdown & they keep doing it by yelling, ordering me around, they seem to Love having control & they CANNOT control my Autism, so they blamed me for their mistake.

Yeah, I don't think they are going to have much joy in stopping your meltdowns, especially when your stress leading up to the meltdowns appears to be compounded by your group living situation which you currently seem to be trapped in.

In that case, the likely best case is to identify that it's coming early enough to leave the area and hopefully remove the fuel from the fire.

But, if folks are doing it on purpose, then it doesn't much matter what you do, they'll just keep doing what they feel like doing and you may wind up outright blacking out trying to not meltdown.
