How Do I Deal With RyLee's Meltdowns?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

RyLee is such a sweet boy and he feels so bad after his meltdowns, he cries and cries and says sorry about 20 times. I try to reach him before a full blown meltdown and sometimes I can redirect him. He calls me names that he doesn't even know what he is saying as we don't call anyone the names that he calls me. Ex. stupid b$$ch a$$ or fat a$$ b$$ch ... we don't talk like that.

I noticed my son had meltdowns more when he did not get at least 8 hrs of sleep. If he got less then that I could tell we were going to have a bad day. Is your son on a good routine? Maybe if something different happens it throughs him off?

We took out dyes out of our food and that seems to help. Yoga is what I am looking into now. They need to learn to calm themselves and relax. Sorry for the words they learn it from somewhere else.

Most meltdowns involve the shower, the computer or his sister...He is petrified of the drain in the tub, won't sit in the tub to take a bath. Now he will take a shower with a plug in the drain. He used to spend 30 minutes playing in the tub, I don't know what triggered his fear of the drain. I adapt to these changes and I feel bad sometimes that I don't understand whatt is going on with him.
