Interacting when on verge of a meltdown

Matilda

I've noticed when I'm on the verge of a meltdown people try interacting with me, usually it's family but sometimes it will be a teacher

Usually it's like this for me

Lol Joy 

A lot of the time it feels like my body is on fire, crashing and burning, my brain about to fry and explode

Almost always when feeling like this someone will try and talk to me which is a kind gesture but really doesn't help. It's another thing to try and process...

I wish meltdowns didn't happen. I've tried learning new ways to better manage them and like how to see them coming but haven't been much successful yet

I've got a lot of autism books and some addresses meltdowns so I'm gonna read them again soon as a meltdown happened today and I'm ok now just a bit tired but I get them a lot and this needs to not happen

    The people that are trying to interact with you are wasting their efforts, as your brain isn't able to function to receive and process that input. What they're doing is risking making the situation much worse.

    This is the problem I have. I'm trying to focus on how I'm feeling and keep a lid on the meltdown B cause I don't want to make an exhibition of myself

    But same time I'm trying to listen and process what's being said to me. I've told people it doesn't help but no one listens to me ever.
