How should I handle an aggressive meltdown?

[Guest guest]

I have twin boys on the spectrum. Out of the blue...leaving Home Depot my older

7 year old twin began pinching, scratching as I put him in the car. His twin

brother goes into protective mode when his brother cries. This meltdown was

bad. They were both in the car kicking, drooling...this is new, and scratching.

I prayed that no one would call the cops. I was able to put one twin in the

front seat and the other twin was in the back seat in total meltdown. I was

able to get into my neighbhood with them and the twin in the front seat...began

kicking uncontrollably and knocked the rear view mirror down. I then pulled

into the garage and let them have at it. I am at my witts end with the

meltdowns. Help

The meltdowns continued 45 strong minutes. This was a first for this length.
