Saying Things in Meltdown

[susie666]

When people with Aspergers have meltdowns is it likely words fly out of their mouths without malicious intent and they're barely able to remember what was said when the meltdown is over?

The last time i suffered a melt down was on holiday this august. I wasnt sayong anything nasty just was ipset about something

( private not willing tp disclose here) Yhrre was alot of tears on my part and laminating. To me it came out of no where but of course it didnt. It was a biold up pf tension, tiredness and well just beong a perfectised.

I sure people can say things they dont want to say whether they remember I dont know.

I can't answer about the intent or whether it's during meltdown but personally I say some spiteful sounding things when I have an outburst and more often than not I can't recall a thing I say (but I am not sure if mine is a meltdown related to my aspergers as I also have eupd) also on that note there seems to be a huge crossover with eupd and aspergers so if there are memory problems after intense emotions is consider seeing a psych to see if it could be a personality disorder

[susie666]

Disagree there. Memory blockage is due to dissociation linked to severe trauma not personality disorder.

[slippingintochaos in reply to susie666]

But dissociation is a main symptom of eupd?

Tbh I don't go around saying spiteful things to people. However I no tolerance for those who do and will kick against them with the same language. If one goes around stalking, winding people up being spiteful and/or abusive in any shape or form then I not a person to deal with; I am very bad for you.

I think it totally depends on the person and how good their coping mechanisms are. Each person with autism is different.

Hi Susie666, yes this can and does happen it's due to the anxiety of trying to deal with the situation as its happening and you just want it to stop, it's not meant maliciously, when someone has a meltdown it means things have already built up and it's a way of releasing the anxiety and sensory issues. Hope this helps, Nana T.

It's also so important that when someone on the spectrum has a meltdown they can have alone time to calm down, it can take a while.
