Why do you do this to the kid? Annoying him with sarcastic comments and filming him while he is saying that he has enough of everything? This really annoy me.
Anyway, his meltdown doesn't look bad at all, more like annoyance building up due to the annoying comments (I would get very annoyed too!)
Thanks for sharing. This is very much like some of the meltdowns my 7 year old has. They seem very similar as my son says the same things ... The box being torn is exactly what would set my son off because uses them to build things.
@keeranize he's autistic, I know there's some kids out there that need a tap to the hand every now and again, but with any kind of disability u need to be careful. He's autistic, smacking him in that situation will just make things worse, she did right trying to explain to him :)
Hi, I'm trying to bring awareness to autism and on my way I found this great new independent film called "White Frog". It centers around a boy who has "aspergers" it's a form of autism. I loved the trailer so much I created this youtube channel for it. Please please take a few minutes out of your day to check the trailer out and help me get the word out. Just type in "White frog movie trailer 2" on youtube. Thank you sooo much for your help
My 10 year old is severely autistic.....I hate to say it, but I think your son's behavior should not be tolerated....he is getting attention from you for behaving that way.....he's obviously aware of what he is doing, is highly verbal, and just getting away with it.....My son cannot speak, and has severe behavioral issues....when he does something that is unacceptable, I deal with it....the best way is planned ignoring.....then over correction....make him clean all that mess up, and then some
The American Psychiatric Association are raising the bar of what defines autism. Your son may be at risk to be off the autistic definition and may have his benefits cut.
I am 12 and I have 2 brothers both of them have Autism Matthew is 2 and Saiden is 4 it is hard for me to live with 2 autistic brother Anyone have any advice for me????????? I need some advice ASAP
@andrewkilroyable It's hard to tell, but I'm sitting in a chair in front of him and he is hitting my legs and shoving the boxes into my legs and throwing them at me. I'm just not physically responding because it's best to stay as calm as possible. I don't know what you mean by "what gives?" Do you mean why is he doing it? He's having a meltdown - and the boxes happened to be the topic when it hit. He accidentally tore a box that he liked which triggered it.
@sherryness I said by what gives as I am not talking about your description, not his. You say you're showing a video of him havign a meltdown, yet the supposed evidence of a prolonged outburst isn't even in the video.
You responded to the what gives bit with a thin skin eh?
@andrewkilroyable Thin skin about what? I didn't find anything negative or critical about your saying "what gives." I just really didn't know what you were referring to and wanted to address the right thing. This video shows most of the meltdown and him finally calming down. I'm not sure what else you're looking for.
Also, these people who scold and yell at me during my meltdowns only make things worse. The only thing those harangues accomplish is feeding their already enormous egos.
I have meltdowns similar to this (sometimes a bit worse) and my parents are never as quiet and calm as you are here. I'm 18 but one of them tells me I'm "only 18 biologically" because of them and that I "act five." This probably comes from a lack of understanding about autism, but I'm not sure this parent would listen to me if I tried to make it clear and say that they're because of my Asperger's. I don't know if posting this on Facebook would help; who knows if it will actually be watched?
It's amazing how calm our asperger kids teach us to be isn't it? My son is PDD NOS and he use to have huge meltdowns and now they are like this (sometimes) and I never knew I could stay so calm :) I think the calmer we stay the calmer they get.
@VicRatza Parents post these videos to help other parents and caregivers out there know they aren't alone and really to educate the public. Obviously.
@currydefresh heh - this is one of the milder one's - and the reason I was able to get it on tape. He has wound up in the hospital before, for destroying things and because he got hurt.
@davidwilcoxfan When his psych diagnosed him, he gave me and his teachers and caregivers the Asperger's questionairre - and he tested super-high for Aspergers'. But combining that with his significant developmental delay is what clinched the autism diagnosis. He leans heavily toward the Asperger's end when it comes to his diagnosis.
I remember times when I was little, before I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (aged 11). I didn't exactly have tantrums, but I did tend to sulk a lot. One time I was in a foul mood (aged 6 or 7) and I told my mum, "You're not my friend." And when she asked, "Why not?" I simply buried myself under my duvet. Asking questions while in a bad mood doesn't often make things any easier, so it seems. LOL.
Oh my God, poor kid, I have Sensory Processing Disorder and Aspergers also Iand it's hell going out into public places, besides boxes I would suggest getting him a weighted blanket from a place called the Magic Blanket. I have two. 've been put into hospital program because of anxiety and angry thoughts, anger is pretty common with AS, he will be able to control anger better with age( im 16 btw)

I have meltdowns, too. My mom just talks to me calmly like you do. It helps a lot more than yelling.
