Autism and mental health

Before I said what makes us Anxious, let me say what been Anxious is, worry, panic, nervous, fear, etc but most of the time when something is done it's not as bad as what we thought it's just before it's done people who are affected by Anxiety their minds can't rest when given something important, etc to think about. People who face Anxiety without Autism face it just as high as those who but most with people with Autism it becomes extreme. As crazy it may sound but always the case depending on the situations people are facing etc but if Anxiety gets too much it can make most people unwell such as the risk of seizures, heart attack,  very bad stomach ache, and as if it is turning round as if you're on a fair ride, etc and many situations there's a risk of depression, etc kicking in. 

Most people who face Autism face high levels of mental health, mainly Anxiety, which makes it hard for us to cope with situations that in many ways we may or may not need support with. Such as sorting things out that need sorting out for a certain time, filling forms, benefit assessments, etc. This also could be something sudden changing mainly if not given much notice, even positive things people may achieve like exams, driving lessons, tests, etc. 

While being on this post I am going to add in meltdowns because we Autism and Anxiety etc, meltdowns in most cases can link. When most people think of meltdowns they think of people of all ages having what they call a temper paddie in the street or something, which is not always the case of a meltdown, only just someone most likely anxious, bothered by something, etc but that meltdown and Anxiety can be reacted in different ways. For people who face Anxiety with or without Autism in my mind, those of us who face even just Anxiety when things on the mind are meltdowns on their own however a people react to whatever situation.

 Having said that I used to have in childhood years what they called back when I was child temper paddies which happened at any time but when I came off medication for Epilepsy when I was 12 to 13, they started to get less. Often I was mistaken as naughty in a roundabout way I guess I was but not really aware but I also struggled with expressing myself to others, which happens to people of all ages when having disabilities etc, but it's, even more, a struggle to express how your feeling to things, etc more so when your child. 

This something I have found on google. Autistic people can find it difficult to express their wants and needs, from a non-verbal child struggling to express their need for a drink to a teenager finding it hard to express their emotions. This can result in overwhelming feelings, such as anger and frustration, leading to a meltdown.https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour/meltdowns/all-audiences#:~:text=Autistic%20people%20can%20find%20it,frustration%2C%20leading%20to%20a%20meltdown.
