Autism Meltdown Intervention: How To Handle Autism Tantrums, To Help And Calm Your Autistic Child

Today we are going to talk about autism meltdowns, and what you can do to INTERVENE and HELP your child...
In fact, the most important thing about meltdowns (besides understanding what the meltdown is all about) is HOW you intervene, be it a meltdown in school, or in public.
There are 3 things to consider when your child is throwing a tantrum:
1) Your Reaction to the Meltdown Itself
2) The Safety of Your Child
3) Empathy
Those three things are REALLY important when learning how to handle an autism meltdown and managing aggression (the first one of the three is especially important) and I'm going to explain why in my NEW video...

My name is Andrea Libutti and I’m a doctor, author and mother of a brilliant son, who at the age of 2 was diagnosed with severe autism.
It may sound unusual to hear someone speaking this way about this condition, but through my own medical research and family experience, I’ve discovered the keys to unlock a wonderful life for anyone who is diagnosed with autism.
Through the past ten years, I’ve devoted my life to discovering ways to reduce the overwhelm many parents feel, as well as delivering simple, straightforward advice you can use to improve your family dynamic starting right now.

I have a autistic daughter she's 3 years old. As she has gotten older her meltdowns are bad!! I tried everything even try and give her space but she doesn't... She wants me to hold her but she still has her meltdown when I hold her and try and calm her. She is starting to bite on everything she gets very aggressive!! This is VERY OVERWHELMING!!! It's so bad I cry everytime she does it! I just want to help her but nothing works! I'm getting depression among other things along with her meltdowns to the point my hair has fallen out!! What else could I turn to!??

I feel so bad for the two of you. I have an autistic son and I know how frustrating and fatiguing it can be just trying to cope with this day in and day out. Please don't give up, you are all your child has in this world. I'll pray that you'll find the strength to go on and that things will get better for you soon.

My autistic brother is turning 18. He can only understand simple words and can't speak. He's much taller and stronger than me, my mum and my sisters. When he has a meltdown he hits us hard, he throws things, he runs around. It's really dangerous for both us and him. My dad is his primary caregiver, showering, cleaning, changing him. He just went abroad to see his dad for 4 weeks. It's been really hard for us to compensate and pick up the jobs we have to do to take care of him, and it's also been hard on my brother. It's 1 and 1/2 weeks and my older brother was trying to give him a shower today but then he hit him, so he left and went up. He then started hitting himself, hitting my mum and me and threw a plate onto the tiles (luckily didn't break because he had barefeet.) My mum fed him now and he's lying down calming down now I think. I can't do this anymore. We've still got 2 1/2 frickn weeks to get through. Getting him up for school is going to be hard too (it's holidays right now and he's going back to school on Tuesday).

Oh god that's a lot to take on. The physical violence is not okay at all. I don't know what country you live in but most western developed nations have social services who can help for free. Have you guys considered reaching out for help to an agency?
