This is in no way a video about meltdowns this is a video about tantrums. Tantrums are optional. Meltdowns are not. Autistic people often have meltdowns for many different reason but a comment reason is when they become overwelmed by the senses around them etc. too much noise, bright lights etc. Eventually these things get too much and a meltdown occures. A child screaming and crying because they can't get a toy is a way of the child showing up thinking their the parents will be embarrassed by their behaviour and give in to what they want. Please can you take this video down or change the title of it because this is not giving someone advice on how to deal with an autistic meltdown whatsoever.
TheShiresNo1Fan this is very misleading. I agree with you completely.
I'm in complete agreement with you. Meltdowns are CRISES, they are points where the child is "acting out" in a way that is severe and harmful to themselves or others around them. The cause may be the same but it has gotten to a point where intervention IS necessary.
I have seen meltdowns for a variety of reasons. However I still act to de-escalate and ensure safety before resolving the issue.
In my case I was working with a student with known self injurious behavior. If she started to meltdown she would harm herself (and BADLY). Thus while I was vigilant for those "pre-crisis" indicators when the crisis / meltdown happened we ensured safety and used calming strategies such as pressure and verbal affirmations (breathe in / out, calm body etc. I did not say "calm down this instant" rather it was "let's breathe and start working back towards a calm body")
This video does nothing to discuss intervention or calming a meltdown.
I just saw this comment. I also commented and did not mean to copy you at all but it sounds very similar. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I am just afraid that someone with a child who is actually autistic will watch this and try these method out.
I agree, this method would work with my daughter who isn't autistic. However, this approach would not work with my 2 year old son who is autistic. He doesn't comprehend as much as her.

This video is about TANTRUMS, not MELTDOWNS. Tantrums are optional, and usually for attention or getting what they want. Meltdowns are involuntarily and usually a result of sensory overload. In this case you often should remove them from the situation to a calmer one.
We agree! We should change the title! Thanks for commenting!
The example given in this video just sound like basic parenting advice for dealing with a bratty child.
+jedzoku These techniques can work for any child! Thanks for watching!
these are good for neurotypical children, but counter productive for autistics
kathy Morris I don't think responding to a call for attention with ignoring is good for neurotypical children personally
Yeah, seriously, this video has literally nothing to do with autistic meltdowns. That's what happens when they talk about us without us.
how will this work for a non verbal asd child
A meltdown isn’t for attention
This video is about tantrums NOT meltdowns.
Thank you for your comment and helping us understand. Do you define a meltdown as more as a sensory overload?
Yes.
Hello miss. Thank u for all the information .. I have a question, what if the child doesn't talk . My son is 3 year old he was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder but he still doesn't talk .. he doesn't pay attention or listen he kicks the floor most of the time when he gets angry also he still wakes up at night time like a new born .. (he doesn't take naps during the day ) I do that to see if it helps him to sleep thru the night ...
Correct
Wow!!! so does my son. I cry myself to sleep most times feeling so sorry for him being frustrating and me not knowing what to do. I feel u on this 1 N Labib. God help us.
Hello,
I am a new COTA. I am currently working with a 4 year old with autism. When my client wants to avoid an activity they run to the nearest table and climb on top, then when you approach (calm and collected) to try to get them down they kick or try to grab at hair clothes etc. Do you have any suggestions? I cannot simply ignore the behavior because it is a safety concern. Any advice would be super helpful!
+Angela Andel
Hi! I am sorry for the delayed response! Thank you so much for your question!
This behavior can be tricky! You always have to make sure everybody is safe first!! Then, what you have to determine is the function (the why) of the behavior. Sometimes we think it's one thing, but after a more in depth investigation, it turns out that there is another reason for the behavior. You have to investigate all of the different possibilities, such as: does he want to get out of the work... does he want your attention when he jumps on the table... does he like the sensory input when you take him off the table. These are just examples! Take a look at this function matrix below and let me know if you think this would be helpful!!
www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjwka231bDXAhVErFQKHZOwCusQFggmMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pps.net%2Fcms%2Flib%2FOR01913224%2FCentricity%2FDomain%2F178%2Ffunction_matrix.doc&usg=AOvVaw1D-WS0OUjU9GPaADrfooaJ
If you know the function already (ex. escape from work) is there anything that you can change before you present the work?? What about making a schedule or a token board to let your student know what is going to happen or how many things are left to do. Even providing a choice in activities can be a strategy. What about doing the work while sitting on a ball? Another idea can be doing a sensory activity before doing the work (or it might be beneficial to save it for after the work). Is the work really hard for your student? Can you brake it down into simple steps so that it is not too overwhelming?
These are all example ideas that can be put into place once you know the function (the why).
Let me know if this helps! Thanks again for watching and commenting!
I'm sorry to hear about the hard week but happy that you're making connections. We wish we could help more but it's hard without being there and seeing the behavior first hand. Keep us updated and have a great weekend!
What to do for those with autism who have meltdowns due to too much stimuli?
It really depends on the person but some examples could include putting on headphones, leaving the area, taking a deep breath, or playing with a phone or ipad. Hope this helps a little bit. Thanks for commenting!
Into the Spectrum possibly. In my case, most of what cause overstimulation of the senses are actions from my kittens. comes from my cats. I don't always want to go out of my apartment just to get away from that all throughout the day, everyday. I just will have to give mine back to the adoption shelter.
Into the Spectrum Although, for some times, headphones could greatly help.
What we do if function is tangible kid screaming crying laying on floor and biting self blood coming from her hand showing behaviour
So what do I do when my ASD son pulls a knife on me during one of his meltdowns or punches me? I have been trying to get help for my 6 year old adopted son who also has serious attachment problems as well. I have not gotten ANY effective help so far.
Julia Carl I am so sorry that you are having a hard time! I hope you have found some help to guide you!
how do u deal with crying
Hello fluffy masters! The first step is to find out why they are crying. To find out more about how to do this watch our 4 A series here:

Thank you for your question! :)
I am wondering how these tips will help if my son is non verbal. I have deep scratches and bruises on me daily from "meltdowns" or it tantrums? Sometimes I wonder is it his behavior or his Autism??? Lawddyyy what a time I have on just typical outings or at home of every least lil. thing.. Sometimes it's going real good then at times out of no where Explosive! I don't want to spank him for injuring me all the time though. I try to calm him and talk softly or ignore and come back and it seems to worsen the issue. I don't know from day to day. Jordan's Mama and Jordan's Journey.
Hello Courtney my kid is 3.6 year old. He sometimes laughs so much how should I calm him down? Is the laughing good? Is it ok if I let him laugh but I fear it is not shared laugh what should I do at these times? I try to stop him laugh saying no but I am unable to stop it.
My son improved excellently from his autism spectrum disorder with assistance of herbal medicine from Solution Healing Home channel on UA-cam,, ua-cam.com/users/shortsh0YncUMye4c?feature=share
this is crazy ... Yes a neurotypical child will throw a tantrum to get a toy, an autistic child having a meltdown is NOT going to throw a tantrum because he is trying to control his adult. A meltdown is an experience a child has because of the over stimulated situation of going to the Store and unreasonable expectations of neurotypical adults. How often do you think autistic people have melt downs that are not caused by other people?
Meltdowns and Sensory Processing
If your or your child's meltdowns are often brought on in areas with lots of movement, sound, light, smell or touch, then it could be brought on by sensory overload. Occupational therapy can help increase tolerance of strong sensory input. People on the Spectrum often struggle with places such as airports, grocery stores, cafeterias, crowded areas like railway stations, busy kitchens, school assemblies, and so on.
How Meltdowns Feel
Autistic writer Cynthia Kim describes meltdowns in detail in her article "Anatomy of a Meltdown." Parents may benefit from reading this article.
Meltdowns can be triggered by anxiety, anger, frustration, overload, or fear. The autistic person feels like they can no longer control anything, and may burst into tears, scream, or self-harm. Meltdowns are driven by psychological pain. The autistic person does not enjoy melting down, and hates making a scene so treating it with contempt will only make it worse.
Meltdowns are driven by psychological pain. The autistic person does not enjoy melting down, and hates making a scene so treating it with contempt will only make it worse. This is torture.
Thank you so much for your reply! We definitely value everything that you are saying and agree that people will have a difficult time because of anxiety or different sensory needs!
What if they ask nicely but you can't afford it & they speech language processing disorder and can't comprehend?
This was awesome
Thanks!
@@Intothespectrumvideos did you stop making videos?
I'm a caregiver and what if they try and become psychical with u because they don't get what they want also she's non verbal
+Taylor Ellis thank you for your question! Make sure to keep you and your child safe first. That's always a priority. Does she have a way to tell you what she wants? Maybe sign language, PECS, aud com?
+Into the Spectrum we know some sign language for her but that's it
+Taylor Ellis that's good! Is it spontaneous or is it prompted? Have you listened to the possible 4 functions and figured out the why? Is it because she wants something?
+Into the Spectrum yes she always wants to eat now and she gets angry when u tell her no
+Tayor Ellis Dr Greg Hanley talks about responding to behaviors and teaching tolerating.Please check out this video. It's a bit long but has great info! ua-cam.com/video/lGTDA9-fJYw/v-deo.html
I think these tips can be used for any children or adults not just children with autism.
liz quin thank you for your comment!! We agree! 😊
Thanks heaps for the vid. Really good tips.
Thank you so much!!
good work.
thanks for caring.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you!
You are amazing
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for uploading this! Love the new channel. I have just started a channel on Autism as well. Look forward to seeing more from you!
+AutismReach Just subscribed to you! Your channel looks very cool! I like the intro to your videos! Keep up the good work!
How do i stop a meltdown when someone / something makes a loud noise.. i dont have meltdowns because i cant eat chocolate or go on my phone wtf is this video..
If a child is willfully misbehaving, (they have already learned the good from the bad but chooses the behaviour that illicits the best possible outcome in a timely manner) then yes, rule with the iron fist in this presentation. But when a behaviour is neither willful or intentional the problem needs to be solved BEFORE the behaviour manifests. Why wait til the kid falls out of the tree? You have to learn the child's communication style and adapt it to yours, not the other way around. You force children with asd to internalize everything so you can get back to doing your nails or planning your next tea party. Its dangerous and borderline abusive. You may have squashed what you think is a sour unacceptable behaviour, but you have just caused more harm than good. Maybe my autistic brain cannot see the efficacy of these methods outside of willful disobedience, but I'm a living breathing example of what "cattle prodding" children accomplishes. Damage, some of it irreparable. I agree a child who punches you in the nuts to say hello should be taught how to say hello in a better way, but until you understand the neurology behind the behaviour, you will just force a kid into a deeper pit of misunderstanding and miscommunication. There is so much more to the diversity of autism that has absolutely nothing to do with outward communicative behaviour. Learn the autistic child's language before you start altering it, their perception is very different from yours. Help them make sense of the madness around them. You will have a better time learning their language and accepting what they say than trying to teach them yours and discounting what is going on IN THEIR HEADS. Not everyone who cries is sad, not everyone who yells is angry and not every smile is harmless. Cattle prodding is equivalent to stitching a rectum closed to battle diahrea. The core issues have nothing to do with the behaviour.
Really helpful!
Kim Fidler Awesome!! Thank you for your comment!! 😄
Excellent subject matter.
+David Fidler Thank you!
What I do, is, I give my child a warning before going to the department store and I specifically let them know, they can have some one item only. Once they grab the second item they already got the warning, warnings work.
Awesome!
I’ve found, before entering any store, I explain how exciting it is going into the store, we will see a lot of things we like or want, everything is shiny and new but I need you to help me stay focused and remembering why we are here and what we came to get. I turn it into an adventure, even allowing myself to act like I forgot why we were there but showing them mindfulness by saying, “oh wait, that’s not why we’re here, I know it’s pretty and I want it but please help me stay focused and remind me what we need.” By doing that, it shows, I too can get distracted and want things but it allows them to start learning mindfulness in a fun creative way. After leaving the store I’ll ask what cool things they saw and wanted allowing for an open discussions on the ride home. I know each child on the spectrum is different so I hope this can provide some assistance for anyone seeking ways to help.
hey IOS mabe we can talk about this. then you can see other opions about this idea of atisum (ps: you dont have to i'm just suggesting)
+Aidan Ives (grey) I am definitely up to talking about this! It is always helpful getting another perspective.
thank you very much! you really helped me a lot! I'll subscribe...

Into the Spectrum .can you pls give an alternative behavior of screaming, deliberately falling himself on the floor to get attention from people. Every time I take home to the grocery or mall he does those mentioned behavior to gain attention. My client is non verbal he is 14 years old boy. Thank you much.
Thank you....
Mamunur Rashid you're welcome :)
1st TIP INCORRECT!!!! AS MELDOWNS WITH ANY AUSTISM COULD BE FOR NUMBER OF REASONS - BRAIN FUNCTION AND CREATIVITY THEY ARE DESIRING SOMETHING NOT FOR ATTENTION
Every situation and child are different! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you Courtney, I think it's helpful to hear over and over.
+Planet Dad Thank you so much for watching, liking, and commenting!!! It really helps us out! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos!.......By the way, what is planet dad?
another fantastic, informative video!! I love the tips!
Thanks Carol!
You did a great job explaining this info!!
Thanks so much! We really appreciate it!
Ya notice how its spiritual in nature, finding happiness in a way of truth they fight to have. They may want to visit a neighbor at an impracticable time just because they glanced out a window when they were coming home from work, that an attainment way of being in spirit attempts to have what is desired. They are also sensitive to the way of spirit of others, like if someone is frustrated it is reflected in a way that is magnified, that they refuse to take part in the way of that person, and won't until amends is made in a genuine loving spirit. Its about having a loving rap-ore, in meekness and kindness in which spirit they are willing to go your way. Also, ways of spirit is attached to things in error, like math homework, which are seen as sources of anxiety they refuse to be subject to, its way of error, because of the anxiety of not yet knowing the way in truth, like math, fully in truth, which subjects them to error, even because they know it will cause them unrest, in having to do it. Its why they find comfort in other ways, like certain toys, the way of spirit attached gives them comfort and peace, free from error. Part of it too, is a lack of trust, because of certain truths of ways of error in spirit, that they have an underlying way of unhappiness, fear and doubt, attached to people or things in error, even that they refuse to believe a person because of what it might mean to go their way in truth, that is, of "truths of error" and unhappiness, they may be subjected to, in going their way, like if they are lied to in truth, just to appease their way of error in spirit. They do really well with some teachers who are meek and patient, but others they refuse to go their way, of unrest, they bring to the table...For them its about maintaining happiness and peace in an otherwise world of unrest and unhappiness exploring things they cannot always explore in a timely way. That said, they are very smart refusing to be subjects of error in the ways of material truth, which puts them in error of ways of spirit, in conforming to the world in its ways of spirit and truth. I so in spirit I see Autism Spectrum is an anxiety issue, of being, sensitive to anxiety, in the way of truth; that they go into fight or fight mode to not have it. They may say "Make me feel better" when they are upset, because they don't want to be upset in the first place; that they just wanted to take part in a way they seen joy in, however inconvenient for others at the time. Meltdowns are a way of spirit which can be a force to reckon with in ignorance...its why parents must learn the ways of truth to mind their own spirit even when having buttons pressed in error, that they hold us to the truth of love in spirit and truth.
I can't even understand what the neck you are saying!
@custombatchservices6981 Thanks
this isnt helping your child with their meltdown. this is just conditioning them to be afraid to ask for anything. also this isnt a meltdown this is a tantrum. meltdowns are always uncontrollable and can only be helped with compassion, similar to panic and anxiety attacks.
this is false and faulty information and makes me, a person with autism, feel much less comfortable explaining or even having meltdowns. this is disgusting.
thank god someone says what I thought
Access - yes they want access to quality medical care. Attention - yes they want attention drawn to their comorbid medical conditions that SHOULD be treated! Avoidance - yes when you feel like crap you want to avoid anything that might be unpleasant. It's amazing what an accurate medical diagnosis and proper treatment can do for a child who appears to be presenting with problem behavior. You're not going to therapy away epilepsy, GI issues, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, metabolic disturbances, neuroinflammation, or allergies! Good quality ABA is useful, but if you're ignoring all the medical you're completely missing the most important pieces.
Thank you for you comment!! We agree that you should always look at medical issues first!!!
Maybe this is why aba therapy has such a high regression rate. No wonder this makes kids sink further into themselves and not wanting to engage with their peers. They are being ignored and sensorial needs left unfilled. Do not ignore your children when they are giving you signs that they are overwhelmed. Acknowledge them when they try to communicate with you that they are hitting their limit. Feeling heard and validated is what children with ASD need more than anything. It’s helps form your bond with them. That is what I see missing with so many kids. Bonding with a caregiver is essential for brain development.
Sensory overload? Hunger? Fear? Disappointment? Exhaustion? Poor diet? Loneliness? Sensory need? Inadequate means of communication? Are these all covered under 'automatic'? And if so, is 'prevent the behaviour from happening' really adequate? Too much time spent on extinction in this video, more emphasis needed on the broader picture, empathy and comfort strategies
Hi AmazingABA! Thank you for your comment! Those examples wouldn't normally be in the automatic category... Being hungry, scared or tired can be setting events... Setting events affect how a person responds to situations by temporarily increasing or decreasing reinforcers in the environment. Not the same as a function though. Example: a child did not sleep well the night before and gets upset easier. Not sleeping the night before is a setting event.
Into the Spectrum sensory overload can be a direct cause of a behaviour as can the other examples. Nothing to do with reinforcement at all. They need to be addressed directly, e.g- get food, lower the lights, get noise cancelling headphones, speak gently, have a lie down, empathise etc
ThePlayfulOnes - you just listed reinforcers the child wants at this time
@@Verseaurainbows Whatever behavior a child is engaging in when they get what they want will be reinforced to some degree, regardless of the reason for them wanting it (be in sensory overload, lack of sleep, hunger, etc). It is better for everyone if they learn to communicate their wants/needs appropriately, rather than throw a tantrum. That is why, in her example with her niece, she waited until she was calm and prompted her to ask nicely before giving her the toy she wanted, thereby teaching her that asking nicely gets her things that she wants and crying and screaming does not. In this example, it was a child wanting a toy because she likes toys, but the same principle applies to a kid who is hungry and wants food, or is over-stimulated and wants the music turned down. Now, if they don't know what is wrong and thus are unable to communicate it, then that is a different story. But I don't think the OP was trying to cover every conceivable scenario here, but rather give some general advice on how to respond to a typical tantrum. Seems that maybe her usage of the word "meltdown" instead of "tantrum" has thrown people off and caused them to miss out on some great advice.
You explain it so perfectly well.
I appreciate this comment so much!! Thank you so much!! 🤗
"Dont give it to them" that's a bad idea
Great video
Thanks!
How do you make someone do something? Hold a gun to their head????
Even that won't stop a meltdown...
this video is very shallow regarding the overwhelming stimulus issues of aspires and how much pain they are in. These are not selfish brats. My son feels more shame than you can imagine about his inability to be as “good” as other people. He wants more than anything else in the world to be successful. His panic attacks from his his brain overload is like torture. You pile on more shame😡
You have no idea
Sorry you feel that way. We are working very hard to help people! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Fuck all that noise. Just let the kid adult do what they do. Eventually he or she will stopp. Just dont givein. Thats what i took this video as such that
Congratulations... I am autistic and I have "disliked" a video on UA-cam now for the second time in my whole life. This video is crap. It is crap advice. The advice in this video is actually abusive in that you are encouraging parents to neglect their autistic children's needs. You are a cold and sorry human and you should not be working with people on the autism spectrum. What you are advising parents to do is to perpetuate their children's experience in a persistent state of trauma. You are a horrible person
Well she doesn't seem like a horrible person but i've been ignored throughout my fcking childhood. I'm a late teen rn, and my life seriously sucks. I was abused, traumatized, and now im ignored. Also, im like dyslexic so school isn't my my f-ing thing so they want me to do the f-ing military. I have problems and my parents try to act like theres nothing wrong with me, which is why i've been beat, and dealt with a bunch o' bullsh1t. Ive had many head injuries and i just say f 'em because its my autism that really makes things harder 4 me. It'll be very f-ing hard to get a gf, career, long term job, or even more friends. Sorry i wrote this under your comment but ur kinda right too. Life just sucks sometimes yuh know😡😔
TheWorthyOne21 you should look into doing yoga and meditation... it helps. Plus, being nice to folks helps a lot too... have you ever met ANYONE who is truly happy in this world? I've traveled 23 states and have survived on the generosity of others... I have met many truly happy people from many different backgrounds, including different continents... though they typically differ from each other in superficial areas such as political or religious affiliations, they all have certain things in common. If you'd like me to elaborate, reply to this comment.
Your right, yoga/meditation is a good way to relieve stress or any problems I hear. My dad does it and there's and nothing wrong with him, im just the unlucky one. Thanks for the advice though, I might give it a try. Doing what u love helps quite a bit as well. Thanks for noticing my comment. Good explanation and details too my friend.
