Some people use various methods to self-regulate during meltdowns or shutdowns. These include using happy stims, repeating calming phrases like "I'm okay", seeking out small, safe spaces, watching sensory videos on YouTube, writing about their feelings, coloring, listening to music, avoiding triggering situations, engaging in special interests, using earplugs to reduce noise, carrying small squishy items or play dough for tactile stimulation, focusing on the senses, limiting stimulation, and using comfort items. Some also allow themselves to feel their emotions without forcing themselves out of the shutdown, while others use their phones to communicate when they can't speak.
