Meltdowns are a common feature of the lives of Autistic people.

There are vast resources available from books to many good youtube videos.

Getting a formal assessment is fairly expensive but screening tests are free.

Mostly it is about managing your levels of stress and knowing your limits. And lots of good strategies rather than therapy. One thing I realized is I need a lot more sleep than I had been getting. And I need to ration social 'work' (that's how it feels - hard work).

Autistic people are very prone to trauma - basically they are hyperspensitive to many stiumuli and emotions - so there may be residual trauma to deal with. But there are multiple ways to do that.
