23.01.2022 AUTISM & MELTDOWNS: A GUIDE (Re-sharing this respectful, Autistic-crafted tip sheet from Bendigo Autistic Advocacy and Support Service - downloadable version be...low) TEXT: Autistic brains experience the world differently. Autistic experiences are real and valid. Sensory processing differences can mean some sounds, textures, tastes and sensations may be intolerable or painful. It can mean differences in movement, balance and different skills develop at a different pace. Meltdowns are an involuntary response to overload from sensory stimuli, overwhelm/exhaustion/anxiety, change or an accumulation or combination of these. Autistic people cannot control a meltdown. ~ Facts and Tips ~ It is important to respect and gently support a person in meltdown. Do not judge and please do not ever punish or impose consequences. Ensure safety of the person and yourself Give space Remove others from area Subtle supervision from distance **Intervene only if imminent danger** (e.g. traffic) DO NOT TOUCH/RESTRAIN Only hold person if known to be effective for them and only by someone known well Respect cues If speaking to, being close by, eye contact or touching someone increases distress or signs of distress, avoid these wherever possible Reduce eye contact Reduce speech Reduce volume Positive, calming tone Reduce environmental stimuli Where possible, reduce noise, bright lights Remove triggers Recovery time drink and snacks, space and unlimited access to calming/favourite activity is crucial Ensure environments/activities are inclusive and accessible.

22.01.2022 When you have a neurotypical child, you feel reasonably assured that class participation and decent study habits will result in good grades. These kids have close friends. They get invited to participate in social things like parties, dances and weekend gatherings. They make the teams, auditioned organisations and clubs. But when you have a child with certain differences, this is often not the case. Learning may take longer, both academically and socially. Despite their trem...endous efforts, results are often a fraction of their peers and social acceptance is fleeting, setting them up for painful comparisons and bitter frustration. Instead of a fun and fulfilling experience, school can become a breeding ground for depression and anxiety, and assignments a battle ground at home. It is exhausting for parent and child alike. This is the week of SPED (Special Education), Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) awareness. For all the children who struggle every day to succeed in a world that does not recognise their gifts and talents, and for those who are walking beside them, please let this be a gentle reminder to be kind and accepting of ALL people. Recognise that the "playing field" is not always a level surface. Children who learn differently are not weird. They are merely gifted in ways that our society does not value. Yet they want what everyone else wants: To be accepted. If you choose, please copy and paste this in honor of all children who are deemed "different". Our world would be far less beautiful without them. All they want is to have a friend and for others to just be kind...let that sink in...they JUST. WANT. A. FRIEND. This is one of the reasons I set up my therapy service. www.choosejoy.net
