RE: autism meltdowns.

I feel a lot of shame about this particular thing I deal with because of being autistic so this is difficult to share. I’m also not a sequential/comic artist so I struggled, but I think this is the best way to reach the most people.

If you see me crying, yelling or hitting myself, please don’t worry too much, meltdowns happen to me enough to know it’ll be totally okay, even if I can’t feel it in that moment either.
I might not be able to move immediately so if you can, give me space by leaving the area. I get really anxious from people looking and it can cause an urge to feel more shame and hit myself in response to feeling angry with myself.
Most people are really understanding when me or my friends ask them to leave, but we’ve had a few times that people stuck around and that caused some extra stress that probably wasn’t intended at all!

If you know or encounter someone with autism: these things happen out of the blue, anywhere, anytime. Try to be emphatic if you see this happen, it can be really scary to deal with this in public. I’ve had meltdowns in shops, train stations, airports etc etc, it’s terrifying. If your friend can’t tell you how to help them try to get them to a space where they’re relatively alone/in a calm area and safe. People and new sensory inputs can add more even more chaos to the brain.
