My Autism Blog

I enjoyed the view into your life and thoughts. My meltdowns are always of short duration, which is good, but they contain a lot of anger (mostly self-directed) and can be volcanic, which is less good.

Meltdowns are scary and painful aren’t they. I like that you’ve used to word volcanic, it makes me think unpredictable and destructive which is how I feel about mine. Im sorry that yours contain self anger, that must be really tough. X

It is odd that I only allow myself to go to extremes in a meltdown when alone, luckily they are very rare. The one and only time I went to Ikea I got the closest to a public, volcanic meltdown ever. They really should publish health warnings, or have clearly marked exits in every part of their Belgium-sized stores. But their strategy is obviously one of enforced viewing of all their stock.

i think thats deliberate,,, but yea me too i wonder do they have people who completely freak out?

I cant go to IKEA alone, I'd never find my way out.
