• 0:53
  Something happens quite often for autistic people and a
• 0:56
  meltdown. If you're not autistic and
• 0:57
  you're watching this video is where you become emotionally
• 1:00
  overwhelmed by it's too much stimuli from from your
• 1:03
  environment that you then become a volcano of emotions.
• 1:07
  To put it quite bluntly. But there are no ways of
• 1:09
  overcoming these very quickly. There are ways of overcoming
• 1:12
  these in the correct way and there's ways to do it in
• 1:14
  incorrect way. So I'm going to share with you
• 1:16
  some tips and tricks and little hacks here that you can help
• 1:18
  overcome A meltdown quite quickly.
• 1:20
  So the first thing I'm going to say is after you have a
• 1:22
  meltdown, you need to drink a lot of water.
• 1:24
  I mean like two big glasses of water.
• 1:26
  What happens is when you hyperventilate and when you when
• 1:29
  you start to get headaches, your your brain is, is using a lot of
• 1:32
  oxygen, there's enough a lot of water and you'll then get
• 1:35
  dehydrated. Now, if you're dehydrated,
• 1:37
  what's going to happen is that you're going to be prolonged in
• 1:41
  your recovery from meltdown. It could take 24 hours
• 1:44
  typically, but then it could take three or four days because
• 1:46
  you've been dehydrated. So you feel groggy and horrible
• 1:49
  for two or three days afterwards.
• 1:50
  So this would just prolong the horrible feeling of having a
• 1:53
  autism meltdown. Now, when you're in the middle
• 1:55
  of having an autism meltdown, or if you're feeling like you're
• 1:57
  going to have a meltdown, you need to change your environment,
• 2:00
  ACP. The quicker you can get out of
• 2:02
  that environment and go towards a different environment will
• 2:04
  change your perspective. Because remember, the
• 2:06
  environment is causing this meltdown.
• 2:08
  Everything in your environment, your spatial, your spatial
• 2:11
  awareness is causing this meltdown.
• 2:13
  If you instantly go from your environment, it's causing you
• 2:16
  the harm at the moment to a different environment, you will
• 2:19
  instantly remedy most of the issues.
• 2:22
  You'll still be in enough state, but you'll definitely remedy
• 2:24
  most of the issues. And what I'd like to do some
• 2:27
  bridge good things. So we're normally doing good
• 2:29
  things in life. We're always going towards
• 2:30
  pleasure and away from pain. So before you had the meltdown,
• 2:33
  you're probably doing something quite pleasurable.
• 2:34
  You we walk to the mall to buy a new equipment or a new piece of
• 2:37
  clothing or whatever, but then the meltdown happens in the
• 2:40
  mall. So what do you need to do?
• 2:41
  You need to sandwich a negative experience between 2 positive
• 2:44
  experiences. So the positive experience was
• 2:45
  going somewhere because you thought was going to be fun.
• 2:47
  That's negative experience was a meltdown.
• 2:49
  Take yourself out the situation and put something on your phone
• 2:53
  or your iPad that you really enjoy.
• 2:54
  It could be your your, your, you know, topic of interest, your
• 2:57
  research topic. Whatever it is, do that because
• 2:59
  I'm just going to give you pleasure straight away.
• 3:01
  Those are probably these three most powerful things I could
• 3:04
  tell you to do right now in the next time you experience having
• 3:07
