Hi everyone, Asperger City from Twitter here or you can follow me on my website www.iHabAspergerS.Webs.com. As you know, I have Asperger's. I am 22 years old and I was diagnosed when I was in 10th grade or about 15 or 16 years old. This video is going to be the full version of me talking about meltdowns because someone requested that I make a video to include more. So I'm going to go ahead and cover the same things that I did in my last video only include extra things as well. So first of all meltdowns. A meltdown by me can be caused by any one or more of the following. Miscommunication, frustration, anxiety, stress, and overstimulation. Now the best way to help me when I'm having a meltdown is to give me space, quiet, and time. Trying to talk to me about my behavior will not help me at that time. And actually it will most likely make the situation worse. So when I'm about to go into that mode, it's not good to try and talk to me about my behavior. Once I feel the meltdown coming, there is really no way to stop it other than giving myself the time and space that I need to calm down. Otherwise it's going to be imminent. And also absolutely nothing can go wrong while I am having my time and space to calm down or I will still go into a meltdown. And I wanted to explain that I respond to this way. I respond in this meltdown because I can't take anymore. It's too much coming in. I just need a break from the world. My system is going to be an overloaded computer crashing basically. People out there know what I'm talking about now. And I know that this meltdown is not acceptable behavior. And I feel terrible for it afterwards every time. But I don't know how else to respond to this stimuli. It's like having someone ask a baby not to cry. That's the best way I can explain it. A baby can't help it. I can't help it. It's my natural response. And I don't know how else to deal and cope at that moment. So I go into a meltdown. So a baby, they don't know how else to deal and cope with what's going on and how else to ask for help and things like that. So they cry. That's sort of the same situation. It's very difficult, but it can be helped with the time in this space. So that's my video on meltdowns. And again, you can follow me on Twitter at Asperger Sadie.
