That was a difficult watch for me. I am in my 60s. My mother always said I was a strange, quiet baby who didnt like her. I never made a noise I would push her away and stay with a stiff back looking over her shoulder if she held me. I was 7th child. I am told recently I may be autistic. In my 60s after a difficult life of not understanding people and social occasions and being that weird person. I am told I am too old to be assessed and helped. Children need assessed to be helped which is correct Being an alien and looking intelligent and neurotypical is a hard place to be when people tell you it is too late to be helped.

My cousin is 30, autistic. He was always fascinated by maps, languages, and computers. At age 10 he still had problems with pronouncing my name but did things with his computer that we didn't even understand. Now he is finishing his PHD and starting his own business with a geography program he designed. We are SO proud of him, fantastic guy😊

If a couple has one disabled child, the probability of the de couple having another disabled child is 50%. I just cant grasp why other doctors do not inform parents of this FACT. It does not mean the couple should not habe more children, they need to be aware so they can be ready emotionally, financially....and how much it will affect the existing children.

@@7Aheadfamily we prefer higher support needs because autism is not black and white. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, a person with lower support needs may have severe sensory issues including EDs, while a person with higher support needs may not have severe sensory issues. I think putting more research into the “autism wheel” would definitely help, but here’s autism in a nutshell. Autism is built up of smaller pieces varying at a different degree for every single one of us. Those can be called “severe” or “mild” because of the fact that it is black and white and there can be more of it. More severe of that part would mean that All it is is heightened to a higher level but stays consistent. Autism doesn’t work like that, it’s never consistent. Put all other categories that make up autism at other levels and depending on how much you struggle in each level and how much it impacts your independence, that determines your support needs.

My oldest is 3 right now, and just last week at church, he head butted one of the children’s ministry workers. I wasn’t there to see what happened prior to him slamming his head into her face, but I was pretty mortified. I skipped church yesterday because I didn’t want him to hurt anyone again, and I didn’t feel like bringing him into the service with me was an option. Your video proves otherwise. I’m going to try some of the ideas you mentioned here and go to church this Sunday. Thank you for your wisdom and insight!!

I was just reading online that kids on the spectrum (including kids with level one autism) need an average of 1.6 years of training to stay dry during the day and over two years of training for bowel accidents to end (even during the day). Since Simon started training at age three-and-a-half that means that on average you could expect him to have some daytime wetting accidents even after his fifth birthday. In addition, based on those same figures you could expect Simon to have some bowel accidents even at age five-and-a-half during the day (or slightly older). If Simon continues to perform significantly better than this during the day even up to that point it either means that you are very lucky with how things went with him or that the toilet training methods that you have used with him are much better than the alternatives that people usually use. I found the figures above using some AI and the main source that it cited was Autism Speaks so you might want to take those figures with a grain of salt but it at least gives an idea of the average figures for this that are out there on the internet (for what it’s worth).

@@7Aheadfamily I found this information with Microsoft Copilot using the Microsoft Edge app on my iPad after many searches. The searches would probably look quite strange to any human who looks at them due to the unusual number of toilet training related searches, for example. Hopefully I won’t be mistaken for an automated system/bot. Also I hope my searches on there were within the limits of what Microsoft allows. The wording of their TOS is vague enough that I can’t be one hundred percent sure. I feel like I would need to be a lawyer to fully understand the terms of service on most web sites. I did some additional searches today to see if I could find additional information including information about the developmental levels of various fictional characters (from Arthur, Rugrats, and other cartoons, as well as characters that the AI made up)(both autistic and neurotypical ones) to see how they would react to various situations (toilet training related or otherwise) that most people would be embarrassed by as well as what various characters would do either with or without concern, anxiety, embarrassment, etc. at various ages and developmental levels under various circumstances and the effect that it would have on the outcome of a situation. I guess I did too many of those searches because in several instances the AI told me that it couldn’t answer my question or that it wasn’t allowed to. I think the AI probably thought that I was trying to break one or more rules in some way even though I actually wasn’t. In addition I also reached the number of searches that I am allowed to perform in 24 hours. Before that point I did manage to perform some non-toilet-training-related searches on subjects such as routing protocols, Cantor’s continuum hypothesis, Traveling Salesman, and the P vs. NP problem so I found some useful information on there during that time. If my Microsoft account is still working later on and I am still able to use the AI I think I will limit my Copilot and Bing searches to news, weather, and recipes, and maybe some math-related topics for the foreseeable future. In short, AI can be useful but it’s best to limit one’s use of it for now. AI still has multiple pluses and minuses in several areas, and still needs to be perfected.

Something that I have in place with my specialists and that you could have in place with the teachers to is a "Active Prevention Plan" (direct translation from french so, might not be the correct words). Basically, it's a sheet of paper that gives my specialists signs that tell them in what emotional state I am (green, yellow, orange or red), it tells them who is part of my support system and their role (psychologist for non-autism related mental health, educator for autism, etc) and tells them what not to do when I'm in a meltdown/red/dissociation (also includes what not to do in general). It allows includes things that help me go from, for example, orange to yellow. So, for example, in the yellow section, it might say "stimming with his leg, hyper active, struggles to stay still, should encourage a calming podcast/youtube video, should encourage the 5-4-3-2-1 breathing exercise, etc", in the "what to avoid" section, it might say things like "Don't touch him, avoid loud sounds, give longer response time to questions, etc". This allows all of my specialists, no matter their expertise, to know how to best interact with me and who to contact if I need help with something. My psychoeducator is the one who put it in place for me and it's helped a lot. I have it posted at home to remind me what to do to help me calm down and I give a copy of it to all of my specialists.

My meltdowns are caused by certain changes, mood dysregulation, anxiety, transitions, frustration and sometimes a sensory overload. I’m mostly sensory seeking, so I don’t get sensory meltdowns very often. During meltdowns, I wail, shout out phrases and demands, bolt and hide, blurt out offensive words and sentences, start mild violence, property damage, and I’m kinda vindictive and verbally aggressive. On the inside: it’s hard to breathe, I’m overwhelmed or irritated, my stomach hurts, it feels like nobody likes me, I need to escape from people who won’t give me space, and whatever the triggers are, really get to me. The times I get sensory meltdowns is when my clothes are bothering me, the lights are too bright, the sounds are too loud, it’s too cold, and if I’m washing myself, the soap mixed with water gets in my eyes. Meltdowns suck for both the caregivers and the people experiencing them, but trust me autism caregivers, it’s much worse if you’re the one experiencing the meltdown. When I have a meltdown, it gets worse when people do punishment like safety protocols, tell me I need to calm down, yell at me, cover my mouth, reason with me about why I should calm down, tell me that I’m scaring others, forcing me to apologize, tell me something isn’t a big deal, tell me not to cry, not allowing me to move, take away a privilege, use corporal punishment or payback aggression, saying “I know you’re upset, but you can’t/have to _________”, calling me names, tell me to be quiet, stare at me and stuff like that. It takes me 30 minutes to two hours in order to calm down. What helps is letting me move in some way as stimming or fidgeting can ease the meltdown, playing some music, filtering out annoying sensory input. If my meltdowns are caused by change, finding a distraction or alternatives to the change helps! What districts me during an adjustment meltdown or frustration meltdowns are my favorite activities, deep pressure therapy, and if it’s allowed then eating and drinking my favorite foods and drinks. Autistic meltdowns during a frustrating situation doesn’t have to be because of communication issues, it could also be because of interception difficulties, caffeine and my favorite flavors of stuff can actually calm me down.

Lack coordination and having no learning issues it is very frustrating knowing what to do and simply can't so I keep trying and like running and like an engine in mud where the tires spin the engine gets hot and blows very similar experience. Transitioning is difficult too for example I will take forever to get a swim suit and go to the beach but I also love it there and spend hours leaving is the same way a struggle but being home or there I enjoy it. Everything feels out of control and I feel like the world is moving at 100mph and I just can't keep up. My brother has his usually if he feels ignored.

One reason that neurotypical people sometimes find an autistic meltdown to be embarrassing/humiliating to be around is that it can occasionally trigger wetting accidents (or even messes) (that can look a lot like “on purposes”) in kids who are in the middle of potty training or sometimes even in kids who have been trained for months or sometimes even longer if it is a severe meltdown. From my experience and observations this is fairly rare (when looking at the percentage of meltdowns that can lead to this) but it definitely can happen.

I have mild autism and since this video is about meltdowns, I might as well talk about my meltdown experience. So when I was 11 years old, A Tv channel was showing reruns of Full House at 5PM on weekdays and I would watch it everyday even after I had seen every episode. After Full House was over, the next show would be Growing Pains, I didn't usually watch it as it would be dinner time by the time Full House was over. So I became obsessed with the growing pains theme song and I felt like I always had to watch it. It had become a routine for me. One time I was at an Aunt and Uncle's house for a swim, and while I was there, I watched Full House, I was able to watch the whole episode. Then during the commercial break before growing pains, it was time to go home and my parents were not going to wait for the theme song to play, so I was forced to miss it, then I cried. My routine was pretty much disrupted which was causing me distress. My parents thought I was just crying over not getting what I want which in way I was, but I did not like missing a part of my routine. My parents did tell me I can watch it when I got home, I did have ways of watching it at home like I had it on a video cassette, or I did have the DVD set of Full House Season 1 which came with a bonus disk that features an episode of Growing Pains and Step By Step. Even though I was able to watch the theme song at home, I was still upset because like I said, my routine was disrupted. I only recently realized that it was a meltdown and my parents definitely did not give the right response, I'm not mad at them and it was a long time ago but I will be likely to bring it up when I go to an autism specialist. I am actually seeing the specialist about something else relating to my autism but I can talk about more than one thing.
