Most people I know have never seen me meltdown, and those who have are afraid of them. I meltdown very rarely, but when I do, they are severe. No one has ever tried to make me meltdown, but I have been teased before by people who had never seen me meltdown. The teasing was either not that bad, or I didn't get it.
I do remember something like this happening within a family I know, though. The older higher functioning aspie brother would torment the younger slightly lower functioning aspie brother by yelling in his face, pointing out everything he did wrong, and calling him a ret*d. I never saw a severe meltdown result, but the distress was obvious.
Aspies can be jerks too. . .
