Autistic people in my opinion need to have their personal space and their personal space needs to be respected by others.

Communicate with them and understand their meltdowns. There are needs for those meltdowns. Sometimes we trigger those meltdowns.

One thing we need to understand is that we cannot use perfume, cologne, hairspray or anything scented around autistic people because they have very sensitive noses & prone to act out because of the scents.
