Somebody please help me save this plant. This is a crêpe myrtle. It is a couple months old. It was doing really well and then one day it looked very sad. I dug it up and the roots look really good. I was worried because I had a lemon tree die of root rot. The tree is under grow lights if that gives any more information.

Hello all, my daughter is eight years old. She is high functioning autistic. One trouble she has is she will either misunderstand social situation’s or become easily triggered. When these things happen her mind becomes disorganized and she will have meltdowns. She will not be able to gather her thoughts and ends up yelling at the other person (usually her older brother) but not in a way that is not productive to solving the problem..

I have talked to her about calm down techniques, but she is asking if there is ways that people with autism specifically handle these things. I know how I handle them, but I am coming from neurotypical perspective and even though I have done a lot of reading on this topic I feel it would be a good idea to reach out to the community to see if you all have any advice for her.

So what do you all do in a high stress situation where your brain just wants to yell? What helps sooth and calm, sooth, and organize thoughts?

Please let me make the text bigger. Yes, I know it gets quite large but I need it probably 50%-75% bigger to read easily.
