autism and strong emotion just be like… SHAKE! SHAKE SO HARD! BUT FEEL TRAPPED BY THE PRISON OF YOUR BONES *screams*

#this is about meltdowns not shutdowns btw #if any other autistics see this pls say if this is also your experience with strong negative emotions #i’m curious how universal this particular description is #particularly if that’s how meltdowns feel for you #autistic community #autism #autistic #actually autistic #autistic things #autistic experiences #being autistic #neurodivergent #neurodivergency #asd #autism spectrum disorder #autism struggles #autism stuff #meltdown #autistic meltdowns

I hate that I'm considered "high functioning". I barely qualify for any "level" of disability in my country and I will never get a disability income. Yes. I'm able to go to work. But I will not be able to hold it for more than a few months before getting burned out and having daily meltdowns. No, having 10 minutes extra work break won't help me. Neither will wearing headphones or carrying fidgets. I'm literally not able to work 40h a week without severe negative consequences... How do i fucking exist in this society!

Meltdowns and Shutdowns tend to happen as a response to extreme distress. And each autistic may experience these differently.

When you've hit that point of no return where your fight, flight, or freeze responses start to kick in, this is usually when meltdowns or shutdowns occur.

They are both uncontrollable, they're a reaction, a way our mind is trying to cope. If possible, it's best to ask the autistic person what their preferences are for help.

Meltdowns tend to be a more external reaction. This one is often confused with tantrums, but are not tantrums. A person may yell, scream, hurt themselves or others (unintentionally), stim, eloping, throwing or breaking things, etc..

Shutdowns tend to be a more internal reaction. One may look more withdrawn or "not with it". A person may not be able to move, become unresponsive, feel stuck or frozen or heavy, stare or unable to make eye contact, thoughts may be difficult to form if at all, etc..

Both may involve crying or shaking, inability to speak or form words, be unresponsive, may want to be left alone.

You may experience either or, depending on the situation. Or as some autistics get older, they tend to experience shutdowns more often than meltdowns.

just see something say that " most autism meltdowns not able notice " and that can learn " control " or " keep to self " … how do people come up with these things ?

sorry but when gwydion meltdown is not at all question , not at all something that will just not realise , and definitely not at all something can just " control " . there is scream and bang and cry , there is loss words , loss focus , any rational thought like " scream loud will hurt so need stop get louder " .

yes on good days can take steps try prevent , but even on those days nothing can stop once start happen … just need let brain ride wave . is brain that fully overwhelm and can not handle anymore . nothing about control discipline any anything .

"I'm here to help. Do not resist."

Imposter has DID and is pretending to be 'Shiny', the person originally hired for the daycare and who is kissy-kissy with Sun. Imp's unreliable and Sun's 'bestie best friend' is in there so he has to work with this dumpster fire.

Hey, i see that you're drowning. Here's some arm floaties, hope they help.

Oh, I see they are really helping huh?

"Why is that person using arm floaties? they're not drowning..."

I see that you're not drowning, you're doing good so I'm gonna take the arm floaties away from you. Wait, why are you drowning again? You were fine one second ago, you must be faking it.

"Can I please have some arm floaties?"

"But you haven't entered the pool yet."

"Yeah but I can't swim, I know that I can't swim, so some arm floaties would really help me not to drown."

"You're asking for arm floaties without even trying to swim, you're just lazy and you want more help than the others have, the others are doing just fine..."

"I don't need to get into the watter to know that I can't swim. You're telling me I can't have arm floaties unless I'm actively drowning? You won't give them to me even though I warned you I will drown?"

This post was never about arm floaties.
