Scary Emotional Meltdown Need Advice
I have been taking care of my father who has had bladder problems and has a bag but he just went into surgery and will have bag removed Monday, while he was in surgery and I was alone at home I just had a emotional meltdown crying and lightly letting out sounds of sadness by myself and holding onto my dog, I also was thinking back to how I grew up taking care of my mother who had MS and my dog that just passed two years ago, is all of this just part of being on the spectrum or do I have PTSD or trauma from 36 years of stress? I was very scared it all felt like a emotional trip or distorted reality

Hey there. This all sounds like healthy grieving to me. I don't know what your trauma situation is and certainly don't wish to minimise it. The actions you describe sound like healthy processing of emotional stuff. If you can allow yourself to do it and not care about what anyone else might think (They're not around anyway), then it's just good to acknowledge what you're feeling and vent it a bit. I hope things get easier soon.

It's not part of being on the spectrum, it's normal to get emotional at these things, even if you're a male. I'm sorry you're going through this. *Hugs*
