Autism & Learning to Recognize Autistic Meltdowns Before It's Too Late
Channel: Lyric Rivera - Neurodivergent Rebel
Date: 2022-07-27

Hey, everyone, Lyric here. 

I'm an Autistic adult, but I didn't find out I was Autistic until I was 29 years old. 

Throughout my entire life, even before knowing I was Autistic, I have experienced Autistic meltdowns, shutdowns, and other types of overload and overwhelm. 

Since finding out I'm Autistic, one of the most important things, that has transformational in my own life, has been learning to recognize meltdowns, shutdowns, and other types of overload, as they're happening, before they happen, before I get to the point of no return. 

This week, I'm going to be talking about Autistic meltdowns, and how to recognize Autistic meltdowns, and some signs of Autistic meltdowns, so that hopefully you can learn to predict them, and notice when they're happening, so that you can stop the meltdown, or get to someplace safe before it's too late if you or someone you care about is having a meltdown. 

If you would like to know more, please do stay tuned.

The words "Signs of Autistic Meltdowns" floats in front of them in pale teal and green letters.

It's important that we all understand, that as Autistic People, there is not a unified autistic experience. We all have different opinions and very different experience, and I think it's great to share those things. 

If you're a NeuroTypical watching, remember that this is just my experience as a NeuroDivergent Person. 

Hopefully, this video will inspire other NeuroDivergent People to share their experiences as well, how they relate, and maybe even do not relate in the comments below. 

I encourage you to listen to, and read, as many Autistic experiences as possible to best understand Autistic People.

I would LOVE to see more Autism vlogs by #ActuallyAutistic People.
