Autistic toddler meltdown

Sharon B

Hi, my son is 2.5 years old and has recently received official diagnosis for autism. 

He is close and friendly with his grandma but all of a sudden he has a meltdown when she comes over or her and I are in the same room. He see's her weekly and plays nicely once the melt down is over but we are not sure why he is having this reaction towards her all of a sudden. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

thanks in advance for any advice or stories you are able to share.

  • Oh my gosh this is just like my daughter. She is 4 now and we recently went away for a week. My mum was with us and my daughter screamed every time she saw my mum. It’s like it hurt her. She regularly sees her nanny so it’s was hard to watch. We had to sit in separate rooms at dinner and breakfast time because she wouldn’t settle.
