Ok. So this girl has been staying at my house. She is a flaming socialite. She actually causes me to have meltdowns. Not only that she makes me angry. So angry I tried to choke her. I have violent meltdowns.

What I want to ask is how should I live when my room is invaded by a slu*ty teen (she's 13). Even my sensory room is invaded by her loud, rambunctious talk of her boyfriends. And worse yet, I am often put in charge of her. I really do need my alone time, but my familty does not under how my asperger's works. They honesty don't get it even if i understand. Also when she is over i stim a lot. Like spinning around worse than normal. I can control is normally, but it gets so bad when she is over I can't even function.

Any Suggestions?
I really need advice on how to handle her.

My hugest sympathies (enough sympathy that it can't be expressed grammatically) - I have violent meltdowns sometimes too, and I'd hate to be stuck in a house with someone who's that annoying.

Is she staying in your bedroom, or just in your house? Perhaps earplugs and a lock on the door would help for the times you don't have to be in charge of her - to get a proper break.

Or find a nearby park/library etc that you can escape to with a good book or an iPod.

Can you count down the days til she's gone? That helps me with intolerable situations sometimes.

I'd be tempted to refuse to take charge too - I'm not sure what a 17 year old is supposed to do with one of those loud, mad 13 year olds - they're beyond control. If she gets in trouble, it's her own fault.

Sorry if this is unhelpful - I can imagine your pain so vividly that I just had to say something.
