when to help in shut down or to leave for adult

topact1066

Hi, my partner is suffering through asd burnout ... to say it’s tough is a under statement

My questions 

is when she is having a shut down in her room and is nonverbal [ could be 1 hour could be all day!]

should i keep going up to check on her

Or by doing this am i messing up her ability to recover energy via the shutdown

Currently I check on her every  30 to 60 mins --- but is that good or bad help !!!!!!

  • A firm hug and being told you are safe, nothing bad is going to happen and that you're loved, is a good idea.

    But the question was over the frequency.

    I think every 30 mins or hour is too often, but people may vary. It depends how burnt out and overwhelmed you are and how quicky to can get some capacity back.
