Shutdowns & Meltdowns

JT

How to they appear in you?

I find I suffer migraines from over stimulation, mutism when I'm surrounded by too much verbal input, or I then can't sleep overnight.

If I have too much nervous energy for an interview, an unplanned trip somewhere new or journey I'm concerned with then I develop gut issues (diarrhea etc).

Are these responses typical in ASC I wonder?

  • myself, hmm, i think meltdowns/overwhelm, i AM undiagnosed and still learning terminology, they begin with kind of, head spinning, "noise ball" confusion, a kind of "panic?" verbal outbursts, agitation, anger, frustration, i can end up either having a go at random people, or "head slap" myself/headbutt something

    shutdown for me, hmm, very similar feelings to meltdown, but behaviour is different, almost, if not dissociative
