When my son was going through puberty it was terrible. Everday violent meltdowns. He 22 years old now and he's doing amazing

They were more frequent when he was younger. Now it’s like once or twice a month. Over the years, I have learned what his triggers are. Thankfully, he outgrew most of them. I remember he hated this Blues Clues DVD and one of the scenes had fireworks in it. He used to cry and leave the room because he couldn’t tell me back then that he was afraid of the fireworks.

Ashley has them at school and home few times a week and 50/50 chance she has when taking her out in public. Over the summer she had 1-2 a day all summer... When ever school has a break she has more memtdowns.

Most of Liam's meltdowns are due to him not being able to communicate things. The food isn't what he wanted or the tv show. Constipation also causes him to have them and other physical discomfort or changes in routine. And now he is going through puberty as well. Thankfully most of them are usually not more than 10 minutes long.....
