Triggers and spontaneous meltdowns

More situations than particular people - the medical context!  

Particular people with a negative impact, I just stay clear of.  Difficult for those who find that person within their own family, of course.

I always carry a wireless headset around with me so if I hear a noise that triggers me I can just pop on my headset and then I am good to go, sometimes I will sometimes have my headset without listening to my Spotify or YouTube Music depending on if I need music to calm me down or not. I also carry sunglasses with me no matter the season because I have a sensitivity to bright sunlight as it gives me excruciating headaches and I also carry something in my pocket such as a small fidget joy or I have a silicon sponge that I can just play with in my pocket and that seems to calm me or keep me calm. I also have my daughters bobble (hairband/hair tie) around my wrist that I sometimes play with too. I find that these helps me sometimes depending on trigger and anxiety level so depending on your trigger it may or may not help.

Not sure about this one. It is a very sensitive situation that requires a sensitive and professional response. Contacting a NHS autism department like Saans maybe the best way to get the right advice on how to deal with it.

Thanks for all your replies ... still not sure if it is partly due to my autism or because l am a hot head? Any coping strategies you may use would be useful for me to consider. 

i have a question i am a van driver for autistic students and i was not trained by my company and two students i was driving home hadstarted hitting his head pretty hard in the van at least five times had a monitor on board we both thought he hurt his head it was very scarey, becaue bith students same time were hurting them self,how to keep students safe while  driving them home

It's just life, on life's terms, which grinds my gears.

However, the grief is temporary.

Yes some of my family members do

I do. It is unfortunate, but my mother seems to be my main trigger.
