When the kids broke up for the 6 weeks I knew it was going to be hard but what I didn’t realise was it was going to be this hard.

Anyway a meltdown is not a tantrum the is well best way to describe it as a tornado. This tornado comes without warning , there is no reasoning of why it happens or how it starts. There is nothing you can do except ride it out and wait for it to calm down. This can be a few minutes to a few hours. Do you get the picture.

I have learnt that with autistic children you should always expect the unexpected and last night was a classic example.

Even with child number two it amazes me how quickly our babies grow up into toddlers and from toddlers into little people! When we had our second child I wanted to make sure that we had memories of those stages in other ways than just pictures.
