I was wondering what other women think about this.
I do have meltdowns, though from what I read in the forums, I don't think I'm plagued with them as severely as some other Aspies. Whenever I read or hear about meltdowns and Asperger's, the author/speaker always speaks of them in terms of how our (Aspies') brains are wired as the cause of the meltdowns. I'm thinking that might not be entirely true.
I say this because I had an aunt, no longer living, who was born profoundly deaf. I was acquainted with the deaf community, and I learned from them, and from life with my aunt, that deaf people are notorious for blistering meltdowns. I used to know a woman who was in charge of concessions and the cafeteria at Gallaudet College, a college for the deaf in the U.S. I remember her telling me that the tab there for repairing and replacing vending machines was steep. If a student inserted money and nothing came out, they would vent their full fury on the vending machine.
