This is great. Excellent tips! We do a lot of redirection and distraction to avoid meltdowns.

I stumbled on your videos at first in search of someone that had pregnancy symptoms that matched mine. Then I noticed you also have a son on the spectrum, like I do. I've been feeling scared because if I am actually pregnant I worry I won't be able to manage my son's meltdowns and my daughter along with a newborn. Your tips have helped me a lot. We are unable to get ABA here so I feel like I am missing his developmental windows to try to help him cope with his behaviors. You are inspiring and my eyes actually starting leaking in some of these videos. God knew I needed to see your videos today. I was thinking of starting my own channel to talk about our ASD journey and family life. Thanks for being so open!

Hi my son is 3 1/2 he is hyper active/autistic.. right now we are struggling with him getting to fixated on things usually other kids toys and he gets a meltdown when he needs to give it back... right now we just remove him from that situation while he is kicking and scream but glad that I came across this video! Def going to start bringing something that he likes to redirect him!

I have been thinking about this, people get on millennials and gen Z kids for ipads and iPhones and tv and stuff like that, but that has helped so many people! Before this was physical cards or nothing at all for people with disabilities, on one hand its like yeah people are losing communication skills but on the other hand People and kids are ABLE to communicate. I dunno, I've been thinking about that alot

All those things would have made my meltdowns worse, because they are due to sensory overload. I just wonder if the children don't get quiet because their energy is drained. I always get and got agitated and stressed at first, at the beginning and after that am slowly sucked in migraine and tiredness. I become very quiet and distant during a meltdown, but other people start a tantrum. It might just be a way for your child to call attention to the fact that they can't filter impulses properly and need a calm and quiet place. Distraction with extra impulses might be useful now, but it can also do the opposite of what you think.

Also a little addition. I obviously am a hypersensitive person as none of the impulses get filtered out and I feel everything coming in. Some people have it the other way around and need a lot of imput to feel it. Find out in which group your child fits, so you can actually make sure the triggers will not be a reason for a meltdown every time. They usually are (in my experience at least) a way to point out that the child feels overloaded with impulses and has trouble communicating this so throws a tantrum over the next thing that comes up. This might be the reason children can have many triggers.

Our LANDing Crew the best one is probably the hugging when a meltdown is approaching. I probably gave off a wrong vibe, but my main point was more like this: the child might get quiet because you actually intensified a lot with the redirection method (based on experience and science). In my case this leads to tiredness and days of migraines. Only point is: babies and toddlers cannot express it well if it gets worse (plus that sense can take years to develop in my case about 18-20). Please be careful. I don't want young children who can't express themselves and often don't really understand the what and why have to go through the amount of headaches I had my entire life. Triggers just might be the final stage of frustration of a child is already on the verge of breaking, just my experience. I just meant to help so you might understand a bit of what happens in your child's brains. Only people who through it can tell you what it can feel😉

What's your opinion on making a basket full of items(silly putty,fidget toys,etc) to help calm down a child in their sight to reduce meltdowns or do you think it would fail?

One tip of an autistic adult here: of you feel a meltdown coming, go to a quiet place with as few sensory impulses like light, sound, tastes, and feels. Those will make meltdowns escalate. At least of your child is overly sensitive to impulses. This is not only my experience, but also what the science says. Us autistic people can't properly filter impulses, which is what makes us either hyper or hypo sensitive to them. Try to find out if your son is extremely sensitive or barely sensitive at all to regular impulses and use that as a guide. The triggers just strengthen the way someone already feels.
