Once a child is in a "meltdown", they will be using their "limbic thinking"; they will not be able to respond to your immediate requests.
@Claire__Ryan @OAGconsultants Thanks Claire. I recognise the general description from bitter experience, but is there anything more on this?

@C7RKY is it specifically 'meltdowns' causes/what 2 do etc that u want more info on? -
@Claire__Ryan My son is severely autistic. Meltdowns involve huge sensory issues, inc apparent 'terror blindness'? Wd love to know more tho. -
@C7RKY Does he have any specialists involved? Have you or they been able 2 find the triggers? -
@Claire__Ryan Cons paediatrician & speech therapy mainly. Sensory assessment was a joke & taught us nothing. Private OT assessment soon tho. -
@C7RKY You can also ask adults with autism who could give u more of an insight through their experience. I can ask 4 u if that would help? -
@Claire__Ryan Actually, yes please. We've learned more from YouTube videos of adults with the condition, than anything else so far. Thanks! -
@C7RKY no probs! -
@Claire__Ryan Very kind of you Claire. Thank you for taking the time.. :) - 6 more replies
