I'm still not entirely sure of the difference between a shutdown and a meltdown - I think shutdowns are what I experience, especially when shopping, feeling that my senses are overwhelmed and I need to go someplace quiet. Interesting post.

I *think* that meltdowns are the same as shutdowns... meltdowns used for children, shutdowns used for adults. Yeah, what you are describing sounds like shutdowns.. I have those TOO MUCH! then depending on the severity, is how long it takes to calm down. Klonopin or meds in general only help so much ya know. i was pretty much able to avoid the entire shopping experience when my husband was working at his old job, he made his own hours, he owned the business...due to our lovely economy, he has a "regular" 12 HOUR a day job, and adjust to that is hard. I have to go to stores and do things. It's been one HELL of a week, literally.. Change in routine sucks. What do you do during the day?

Hi, I share your pain when it comes to shopping. Unfortunately I'm basically unemployed now, which is starting to really frighten me. I find it very difficult to hold on to jobs - no matter how interesting I find the work, I can never get along with the people. I do work one day a week at a nonprofit - only pays a few dollars a month, and my manager talks constantly, which seriously aggravates the Asperger's. Otherwise I'm taking some courses online and trying desperately to find a job.

Yep, I can relate to the work thing also unfortunitily. I'm on disibility now, and have been the last few years. I don't know what happened, but on oct12 1999 I had my first horrible panic attack, it was the worst day of my life..anyway since then i have not been able to work. Good Luck with the online school!!
