He's able to control his anger and emotions a little better.
All that overstimulation is emotionally draining, I'm sure. Anonymous said… I feel like my kid spent all day at school trying to be good and figuring out how to accommodate his challenges and how to get by in a neuro-typical world, that he was DONE when he got home.At home though, or with just me and his dad, my son lets loose.

Possible Consequences that reinforce the meltdowns: increased sensory or emotional overload from reactions of others, increased desired attention, escape from things she doesn't like or want to do or cause her distress. A very short list of possible triggers: exhaustion from holding it together at school, change in environment, change in amount of structure, interactions with siblings, sensory overload (can be really subtle), homework (performance/anxiety) issues, too much information coming in at once, not being able to communicate her needs, picking up tension in another person or the environment, not getting her way (since home is often less structured than school this happens more frequently). Think about 2 categories of "causes" (there may be multiple, not just one): Triggers (what sets them off) & Consequences (what reinforces/keeps them happening). Not advised during the actual meltdown - when she's calm, she may be able to give her some clues, and when you're calm, you can think it through easier.

Or some people hit the bar or gym after work before getting home. Video games are okay for at most an hour. Hot bath or hot tub at a gym, heavy blanket nap, meditation, yoga, sports. One way to take care of it is a stimming regiment after school. Imagine you are an actor on stage in a 18th century play.
All This takes mental energy and it just runs out by the time you get home.
