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 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.. :) -
@C7RKY No probs! It's always better to ask the real experts tho!! -
@Claire__Ryan Beyond the experience with my son, I've had cause to dig under the surface of medical 'experts'. Don't trust any of them, None - 4 more replies

@C7RKY@Claire__Ryan daft question but have you exhausted medical explanations - seizures or absences? Just a thought, hope you don't mind -
@ASKPERGERS@Claire__Ryan Don't mind at all. Sure there are several medical aspects we've yet to explore, but vaccine damage is top of list. -
@ASKPERGERS@Claire__Ryan Feels more as if we're trying to assess the damage & offset it where we can than anything else? But still learning -
@C7RKY@Claire__Ryan Sounds scary and like you have a long journey ahead. I hope things go as well as possible for you and your son, Jane x -
@ASKPERGERS@Claire__Ryan Very kind of you Jane - thank you. We've been putting out fires ever since it happened, but we're getting there! x
