She will let me in occasionally for a cuddle or a moment, but otherwise it is meltdown city and with no verbal language, no signing I have to watch her every move to see if I can interpret her mood.<br /><br />Thank you againSam Mildonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362101409676631776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799087240760337340.post-35220249182427057172013-07-05T06:27:47.323-07:002013-07-05T06:27:47.323-07:00I just want to thank you all very very much for pu...I just want to thank you all very very much for putting this blog together.

I have learned that allowing myself to express negative emotions gives me an early warning system for meltdowns. When I start losing control of my words, then I know I need to take a break.<br /> I get frustrated when parents say they don't want their child to even sound rude when they are upset. 1. "Want" and "get" are different 2. It's better than how a meltdown goes if you're not allowed (or don't allow yourself) to express emotion/leave sensory hell/etc until too late.Myriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501735120663777532noreply@blogger.com
