  •                When my child has a meltdown, 

    As a mother I wonder sometimes if Brad is happy.My son Brad with autism he cry for many reasons and I'm trying to figure out why crying can be tricky. Today’s blog is all about the reasons why kids might be crying and how i can help turn his behavior around. As a mother, I’ve seen in many situations with kids crying. How can I help my son.  It’s normal to ask, “why is my child with autism crying so much?”

    When my son has a meltdown, I often want to stop the tears because it hurts my heart ♥️  that my child is struggling. Or I'm running low on patience and just want peace and quiet.

    Many times, we’re coping with the fifth or sixth meltdown over simple things like the tag in his shirt being too itchy, are his sister talking too loudly, or a change in plans.

    Autistic children aren’t crying, wailing, or flailing to get at us somehow. They’re crying because it’s what their bodies need to do in that moment to release tension and emotion from feeling overwhelmed with emotions or sensory stimulations.

    Their brains are wired differently and so it’s how they interact with the world. That’s something I have to come to terms with as parents so I can support Brad in the best way.

    So how can i effectively support my son  through these often loud and thrashing meltdowns?

    Expressing his emotions in a healthy way — whether through tears, wailing, playing, even if these emotions feel overwhelming in their magnitude.

    Many times, i try to talk to brad down from his panic, but it’s often a waste of breath when he is in the throes of a meltdown.

    So what can i do is let him know that he is  safe and loved.i do this by staying as near to him too comfort Brad.

    My son can’t control his meltdowns, so maybe I shouldn’t punished him.

    Instead, i should allowed him space and freedom to cry loudly. as a parent am letting him know am his number one supported.

    Meltdowns for any child can get noisy, but they tend to go to a whole other level of loud when it’s an autistic child.

    These outbursts can feel embarrassing to parents when we’re in public and everyone is staring at us.We feel the judgment from some saying, “I’d never let my kid act like that.”

    Or worse, we feel like our deepest fears are validated: People think we’re failing at this whole parenting thing.

    My son responds really well to is it ok mom/ dad daily (his favorite word ) but we try not to use it's ok for every-time.

    These coping strategies will help him calm down —is it ok mom/ dad   perhaps before a meltdown.

    Empathy is at the heart of all of these steps to dealing with an autistic meltdown.

     Medication for Autism Spectrum Disorder

    There are two FDA approved medications for autism which include Ariprozaol or Abilify and Risperidone or Risperdal. These medications have indications for treating severe mood, irritability, severe aggression, and self-injury. Medications should never be a standalone treatment for someone with autism. It should always be a package as part of the package of treatments that an individual is receiving which can include ABA therapy, changes in multivitamins, diet changes, as well as other interventions or medications. It is also important for parents and families to understand the time and data necessary to understand a medicine is working, it will normally take consistent administering and a correct dosage of a medication to see significant changes.For us we have try several different medication 💊 that should work for Brad but the end of all trying some of the medication cause him to feel bad, aggressive and staring at the wall. But because of his  ADHD we are done trying and just see what medication 💊 work for his ADHD because there’s no medication for autism but there’s medication to control his outburst. As I mentioned before, is an FDA approved drug typically used for symptoms including severe aggression. Let me know what your input on medication 💊
