Hello, good Sunday morning, all my Spectrummy peeps. Posts will be short but sweet today. Question. If you are on the Spectrum, have your meltdowns/burnouts gotten better or worse as you have gotten older? Why or why not, do you think?

Enjoy this beautiful day.

@mamacita Good morning back to you! Over the years I have become more accepting of myself, and feel more comfortable in expressing what I am feeling, and not being such a "doormat". So in that respect, they have become worse to those who get to experience my true self. Funny that it makes me feel more powerful and true-to-myself, to be able to let people know that the stimulation [whatever it might be] is not in my comfort zone. Not sure if that is what you are asking.....

@mamacita - that is an interesting question you posed for those on the autism spectrum in this discussion, whether your (or your loved one on the spectrum's) meltdowns/burnouts have gotten better or worse as you (or they) have gotten older, and why or why not?

Thought that @stephanieann @lizaa might be interested in this conversation, as well. Have you seen meltdowns and burnouts in your sons, and if so, have they changed over time?
