Meltdown Friday

Curtis had a meltdown just about 1:00 PM, nothing major but still a meltdown. He was getting audio books off his shelves to take back to the library when they all fell (he keeps them neatly stacked and organized) and well, that's all she wrote! :( He came back downstairs and he sat back down at the table so we could continue school, he did 2 quick assignments and then came the tears. He got one of his squishy things out and proceeded to 'beat' it on the table and squeezing it so hard that it deflated. This of course made him more upset. Then he did something he has never done before; he started banging his head on the table! Our table is made of tiles, you know like what you would put on a kitchen wall, their HARD.

I asked him to stop but he continued. He done this about 8 times, not super hard, but hard enough you could hear it.

This is a new experience for me. I have seen other kids on the spectrum do this, but never him! It kinda scares me. We are still kinda knew to the whole concept of him having Asperger's and being on the spectrum, so I am still a little lost.
