Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 I know what I mean when I say having a meltdown. I mean is completely in a rage cycle, absolutely lost it completely which could be due to any number of things. At the moment we are in a complete meltdown situation and have been for days, aggression, fury, destruction, you name it. I think the more severe non verbal children tend to have the most spectacular "meltdowns" probably because of the high levels of frustration associated with lack of communication, infact for my son "meltdown" is often the only way he can let us know how unhappy, frustrated, sad or even in pain he is!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Hi Dave You are sooooo lucky if you dont know what this means. could demonstrate it in a second no problem!! completely loses the plot sometimes from the tiniest trigger (with us its usually associated with a dodgy tummy/bowel stuff going on too!). She screams shouts thrashes around chucks herself on the floor, quite deafening, not a sight to behold in the middle of Tescos! Hope this helps. Love Caroline xxx Quote

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Hi Zoe Do you know if there are any courses planned for the UK? Keep thinking that this is the route we need to go next with Louis. Thanks Kay. Re: Meltdown Explanation Hi You could try RDI as well as biomed?www.rdiconnect.comOne UK based couple who have been doing RDI for 2 years have just updated their report on their son on the RDI UK list, and they say" At first he had lost all his communication and his life focused on ritualistic behaviors and an isolated existence.......So how is he now? We have still got a long way to go but we have seen remarkable changes.......our family quality of life has really improved and we feel we have very real hope for him in the future. His ADOS has come down into the non-autistic range (this does not mean he is cured!). We are working on stage 9 (level 5 inter-subjectivity). After going part-time in Reception Year in the local mainstream primary school, we are 3 weeks into him being full time in Year 1 and so far so good".
