[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A bunch of hyper children becomes a safety issue very quickly. No problem making them sit down and regroup. Your child should NOT be having meltdowns beyond the age of 4- this is not an “autistic thing”, it’s just a bad parenting thing. Your kid is not ready for summer camp, stop blaming the counselor for that and FFS teach your kid not to tantrum.[/quote]

Did you forget that you were posting in the Kids with Special Needs forum.  Here, we are kind and respectful to one another.[/quote]

We’re also honest, [b]it’s not normal for an autistic child to meltdown.[/b] It’s indicative of parenting issues. [/quote]

You need to GTFO with this post. You must be a troll. My autistic teen doesn’t misbehave and never has, but she will have internal meltdowns. And I have experience with multiple autistic families and their kids - emotional dysregulation is literally a part of the diagnosis.[/quote]

Meltdowns “emotional dysregulation” is NOT diagnostic criteria for autism. It’s just not. Maybe your kid is bipolar. [/quote]

Meltdowns are extremely common in autism.

What are you even doing here? go away. [/quote]

They’re common in kids with parents that blame poor behavior on autism, they are NOT part of autism. [/quote]

Yes they are. I don’t even know what you think you are talking about. [/quote]

Lady you said meltdowns are a diagnostic criteria for autism. This simply is NOT true. Go look it up yourself. If your kid’s having meltdowns you need to address the actual issue rather than blanket blaming it on ASD. I do know what I’m talking about. [/quote]

Rigidity is one criteria for the diagnosis and the clinical impairment piece of that is often in the form of externalizing behavior in children.

tantrums are so incredibly common in kids on the spectrum. Literally zero professionals treating kids on the spectrum would say otherwise. There is reams and reams of research on it. Why do you think so many kids on the spectrum end up on medication?

anyway here’s some reading for you: https://sparkforautism.org/discover_article/managing-emotions/[/quote]

Medication is rarely used for children with autism. Only 2 medications are approved for ASD and it’s quite uncommon to utilize these. They’re mostly used in residential care settings when problem behaviors are extreme, older children where other methods weren’t reliable, briefly used during puberty, and/ or if multiple diagnoses are present such as ODD, bipolar, psychotic disorder, etc. You should not be drugging a young child with a sole ASD diagnosis without first trying other interventions and/ or exploring other diagnoses. Meds should always be a last resort. [/quote]

You just keep on showing how poorly informed you are. Many kids on the spectrum are medicated and the most common reason is behaviors like tantrums and aggression. I’m sure parents who have tried everything are really happy to be reminded by you to try therapy first.
