meltdown triggers

Balletdude

Sorry for always asking questions

I know what can cause meltdowns/etc for me. But is it 'normal' in autism for unexpected things eg random occurrences cause meltdowns?
I had a little meltdown today, I switched my camera on and it seems that the main display on the back is damaged. Since I do work as a photographer, it poses a problem as Its difficult to work/do shoots without access to certain settings etc. I know its a stupid, slightly unanswerable question but does this sound like something that would cause a melt dow (Im convinced it is) but just thought I'd see what others think

sorry for asking stupid questions

  • If money was no object and you could just send an email and have it replaced or had a drawer full of these as back up, would it cause the same problem?

    But it sounds as though your work depends on your tools or instruments to be in perfect condition. If there are a great deal of consequences / impacts from something being broken which is not easily repairable, then it should matter. Unfortunately. 

    An emotional response would be perfectly normal. The only reason some do not feel the effect is when they are not impacted.
