Meltdown advice

Tlc

I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice about meltdowns. I have lived with Aspergers for 32 years but I only found out that I have Aspergers 2 Months ago. I recognise now that I have had meltdowns in the past. I had one at college earlier this year during my annual review. Eveything built up but I couldn't do anything, it was as if I was in the room but switched off, I couldn't think or speak and when I got home I had to hide in the dark in my room.

I start back at College next week and my career is on the line if I don't improve my Social abilities/relationships. I am very concerned that with the mounting pressure I am going to be under that meltdowns will happen again.

Is there anything I can do to stop them from happening? or a way to recognise when they will happen and escape/hide?

Any advice welcome. Thanks in Advance.

  • Thank You longman for your response. I have found it very helpful.

    I didn't make it clear in my original post but I am a mature Student. I am not Staff. I will be starting my final year of retraining next week. I have not met crucial targets over the last two years all in areas of communication/interaction. Now that I know about the Aspergers I am hoping I can somehow try and control some of the problems I have by understanding myself better. I want to improve so I am not failed.

    Thanks again for your response and advice.
