I have never witnessed a melt down
I think I know people who are autistic who never experienced it
What causes them?
Are they more common when you are younger
Can someone who never had one in youth experience something drastic causing one later in life?
Do any comorbid disorders make them worse?
I feel disappointed with Kaetlin. She seems to be advising parents to reassure a person during a meltdown
Quite honestly, as an ADHDer who doesn't to cause harm, I will literally walk away and increase their space unless there is a really good reason to interact
I am not autistic at all. But if i am hyperfocusing, I really hate people talking at me.
What I want to know is, if and when you experienced melt downs, how you would want people to react
Would you want someone talking gently and holding your hand? Would you prefer space so you could unwind?
I am a visual person, full ADHD, I hate having it pushed on me
Hollywood spoils a lot of movies with it. I am sick of it

Give me a story. Leave the gross out to 5 year olds
The assasinations attempts against Trump don't prove the left is more extreme than the right
The US is a country of lax gun laws, so a disproportional number of total nut jobs are armed per capita compared to the armed nut jobs per capita in allied countries. I don't think the US has more nut jobs per capita. In this thread, I want to focus on nutjobs who seek to kill the president or csndidates
The attacks on Trump which I know about :
The first guy who attacked Trump, the guy who could have actually killed him apparently was also tracking Biden's movements and therefore I suspect his honest motive was fame. He wanted people to know his name.
The second guy who attempted but chickened out, was motivated by his commitment to the war for Ukraine. This obsession with Ukrsine is not particularly left
The third guy, the one with the most lame "plan", the one who was jumped on by police becire they could riddle him with bullets, seems motivated by criticism of Trump such as his life long association with pedophile Epstein. This guy certainly seems left. He also seems suicidal or selectively stupid skthough right wingers usually hate pedophiles too. It is weird he didn't target Patel.
There probably are other plots against Trump thwarted by the sescret service
Of the 11 attempts agsibst Obsma, the actress comes to mind. She certainly was a right wing nut job. The ithers? Unsure
Gersld Ford was attacked by 2 Feminists
Ronald Reagan by a total nutjob who had an obession with an actress
