Hi.
I wonder if anyone on here as ever had as an adult a meltdown in public. I unfortunately
had my first one on Sunday & it is an experience quite different than having one without
a public presence..I had it in front of a neighbour who was informed earlier in the week
that I was autistic,it was not as bad as some, ripped my top off attacked the ivy beat up
a wreath,all our property I ranted but no Tourette's.
Her first reaction was to make it all about her, calling her husband "come here come here
I have a problem will you come down please" my mother who is end of life & who I care
for was sitting there said later " I was the one with the problem & me who could of used the
help" Anyway I came back down after replacing my t shirt had a rant & told the husband
to stay out of it as before his wife had been berating my mother & as I went to stop it
I had a panic attack so she threatened me with her husband.
I was told by friends not to worry & there is no need to apologise it was not intentional but I
send a text saying "sorry about that sensory overload caused a meltdown linked to my ASD
it was nothing personal" & the reason I is there will be repercussions as there were over the
panic attack nothing illegal last time it was trying to have my safe space tree cut down & various
other actions.
Whilst there is no magic bullet how do you cope having them outside, any advice would be great.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
