New and need help

Hi everyone. this is all new to me. I'm waiting for a assessment. I have been looking on the Internet for information about meltdowns and mostly they say it can happen anywhere and anytime. is this true? Or like my experience I have very little meltdowns.  in front of people but it builds up days or weeks at a time until my head feels like it is going to explored then I have a meltdown when I'm on my own. Any advice or information would be great.

sorry for the spell and grammar. hope you can understand what I mean I have dyslexia anyway HELLO to you all!!!!

  • Guess what they mean is that it can happen in that way – for some (or many) people. You don’t seem to be one of them, which is a good thing, I’d say. So don’t get worried that it will suddenly start only because someone may (or may not) decide that you have ASD.

    Perhaps better try not to look for the symptoms that you read about in yourself if you haven’t already noticed them before reading about them. It quite easily ruins all your confidence in yourself because you suddenly read that you are complete rubbish in lots of things you may have thought you are doing o.k. with so far. The thing is that all these lists of symptoms are quite general and aren’t actually about you as an individual and you may well do pretty well in things someone else with an ASD really struggles with. Wished I managed to follow my own advice…
