Please help me please I don’t know what to do with my autism
I've never had a meltdown as a result of a shutdown. I thought they are sort of mutually exclusive.
My shutdown look like I literally disconnect from reality for a period of time and don't remember what happened, it's like a hole in my memory
Maybe you were being overloaded with stimuli and your body was trying to shutdown to avoid further exposure and becuase you didn't know you didn't change enironment and it led to meltdown?
you need to identify trigger
It often happens it's a specific behaviour of anybody, or specific behaviour or one specific person, or noise, lights, smells
and than you need to say stop and go away before you get frozen in spot,
when you get to frozen point, you're helpless, if trigger is a person, a 3rd person can prevent your meltdown by taking trigger person away, but that's wishful thinking there will be someone who will notice that and act in time
