In this video I’ll be looking at and talking about what causes Aspergers meltowns and what has it got to do with sensory overloads. Helping people understand Autism from a person with Autism’s perspective.
Almost every person on the autism spectrum (Aspergers included) will encounter this common trait. It is probably one of the hardest traits of autism and people find it difficult how to deal with Aspergers meltdowns in adults.
No matter the age of the person with autism or a sensory processing disorder, there will be meltdowns present. It is often seen in children as a tantrum or misbehaviour. In older people it is seen as Aspergers rage in adults, but this isn’t the case for either.
The person is taking on too many sensory inputs, much like that of sensory overload anxiety, but in Aspergers they have triggers and an asperges’s meltdown trigger can be hidden to the neurotypical person.
I will also share with you some tips and tricks that may help overcome an autism meltdown or meltdowns.

Also, comfort them verbally. Touching them will escalate their anger/anxiety. And never ever ever ever ever say "calm down".
-
As a 33 year old woman I am beyond humiliated I have these and nobody knows. My dad made fun of me today for it. He's a lot older than I am ..He's 83...so I get it..but I feel alone . I've always been alone. 33 and fighting this by myself for this long...I'm tired -_-...
-
I know a meltdown is coming when I can’t stop rambling about something that’s on my mind and I keep on going until I just go nuts and cry and scream
-
I took me SO LONG to realize when someone asked me for a ride randomly that it caused me to have a meltdown. Like if I know the night before I'm okay, but if it's last minute it makes me so irrationally angry.
-
I’m crying because this video finally gave me clarity as to why I have intense moments where I hit myself, pull my hair, or punch things when I just feel overloaded.
-
Actually sensory overloads have rarely lead to meltdowns for me. Occasionally they may contribute to shutdowns. The overloads for me are always about emotions, other people, myself and relationships. I might feel hurt or upset and everything that all people have said to me in life eventually gets too much.
-
Whenever I have a meltdown I always try to hold it in because i always think people don't understand, even if my dad has Asperger's. It hurts alot and I have to go to my room most of the time to let it all out.
-
I have autism, and I become very irate when people argue, often times to the point where I will scream and hit my head, and will also punch doors, walls, or myself and break things.
-
Uncomfortable crying o.m.g. Both my brothers are on the spectrum, because I’m a girl people just called me “emotional”
-
I used to think i was going crazy when i had these outbursts; until my recent diagnosis. Everything now becomes clear
-
I used to end up breaking things (oof bad I know) but now I usually end up pulling my hair and punching my leg lmao. I enjoy watching your videos and realizing I'm not alone. Didn't realize I was autistic until I was 19 (this year) but I've always suspected it. Everything makes so much more sense now.
-
I have meltdowns constantly. I was diagnosed last year and Im 27. Always thought I was crazy or broken... Cannabis seems to help/prevent meltdowns and help control how strong they are... I just get embarassed because I wish I could control them more. I really appreciate your videos. They help me feel like Im not some broken person. I know Im not but the feeling can be sometimes overwhelming... Your amazing. Thank you for helping people understand the spectrum ♡
-
Many of my friends are autistic. I have many similar signs, but have been diagnosed with ADHD and not Autism. I get sensory overload a lot when I go out, but it usually causes intense dissociation, so I don't outwardly react much.
-
I have Asperger's syndrome myself. I have had meltdowns at work and home. I also have insomnia and don't get enough sleep.
-
my daughter hits her self, or plugs her ears. I Stimm, a LOT when I'm getting to that meltdown point. I use to cry, or go inside myself, now I fidget with my clothes, or say "Oh my" my college professor taught me how to use the two Stimms instead of not speaking or interacting, crying or getting real mad. Problem is, its kinda hard to explain to everyone on Earth why I say "Oh my" when I get triggered. Good part is, less people notice, so I don't feel as weird in public.
-
I rarely have meltdowns as an autistic person, but when I do, they are rough, they can last for days, at school, embarrassing myself. My dad's side of the family don't believe I have Aspergers and think Dr Burg is rubbish at her job, which makes it even harder when I'm at my dad's having a meltdown. I want to spread awareness.
-
I have Asperger's but I've only had a few real meltdowns in my adult life, though I'm familiar with the feeling of being overloaded - I'm usually ok once I've had some quiet time to process. I also try to plan well enough to avoid being caught off guard, as you say.
-
Also If I have a meltdown, I start crying and breathe really hard.
-
I was recently diagnosed with high functioning autism and these videos are helping me to understand more about myself. (In short, thanks.)🙂
