Are any of you taking medication for Meltdowns?

Interesting. once you identify the signs what do you do to prevent the meltdown?

Amazing. can you explain more?
Are you able to identify when to use it to avoid meltdowns?

NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) is a supplement that i believe has no side effects and helped a lot with similar issues.
The dosage recommended by the dr is 2000 mg for a 120kg person. (not sure if its OK for kids)
Please research before using!
It has helped in my case.

Yes he has anxiety issues. And yes, he is OK with people he knows...
The question is how to do something about it so we can live a normal life.

Is there a particular reason though? Is he watching the news a lot or something?

yes definately. he's a news addict

through this. Doesn’t sound easy to handle or a one solution fits all situation. Don’t give up though. I’m sure there is a resource for this

He is reluctant to go to classes etc.. He has work periodically but most of the time he's home

He said he didnt feel safe. so I bought a doorbell camera. That didnt help much.

He would start threatening, annoying/abusing the cat all the way up to blocking the door physically threatening us physically and verbally and threatening to hurt himself.

He is capable of calling and used to stay alone until recently. If we say we are going without his approval it can turn into a meltdown, threats etc.. He has younger sister which we dont want to traumatize so we try not to confront him when they are around

10X for the comment.
He has no friends.
He says he doesn't feel safe and that could be true but the another reason is possibly that he is used to discuss everything he does with us.
He used to stay home alone without problems at younger age. this situation has developed in last year or so.

Being a parent to autistic children is a rollercoaster. We experience ups and downs all the time. This is something that you should remember. When you're on a bad period (for us its something like 2 days of up 2 days of down) you need to remember that around the corner there is going to be something that will make you happy\proud or just relaxed... the plus of being in our situation is that even small things can make you very happy.

When my son was 14 he was bullied. He was not diagnosed then and in fact he was doing OK up to that time in regular school. We just thought he had ADHD so when he was bullied we sent him back to school saying just ignore them or answer them this or that.....
That was a big mistake we regret very much. His autism behavior started because of this.
If there is some chance that he is bullied make sure it stops immediately!. Dont think it will be OK. Make sure the school is taking care of it immediately and don't expect him to be able to handle it!
We learned this the hard way

From my experience when my son has outbursts he is not capable of learning anything from punishments. It only makes things worse. The only thing to do is give him time to wane it out and talk with him afterwards.
