Many things can cause autistic people to get into a meltdown. Noisy crowded areas, uncomfortable clothings, or trying on new clothes/shoes because they sense it's going to cause a sensory issue and bring a lot of changes. Having too much socializing and not getting enough down time. Eating certain foods that they are sensitive to. Being bullied or pushed into something.

What do autism dogs do to help people?
I am going to assume that by 'autism dogs' you're referring to service dogs used by Autistic people.Service dogs can be used simply to help keep a person calm, an Autistic person may be more prone to anxiety so having a dog to pet can keep them calm and service dogs can be trained to spot signs of meltdown in order to comfort an Autistic person to prevent meltdown. In Autistic children dogs often provide companionship, when children do not have many friends a dog can help them deal with social isolation and improve confidence which has an overall benefit to their health.
How do teenage mothers manage autistic tantrums?
What you refer to as "autistic tantrums" are likely to be meltdowns - a tantrum is a child seeking attention or acting out to get what they want, where as a meltdown is an uncontrollable emotional outburst as a result of over stimulation or stress. A meltdown should never be mistaken for a tantrum, this is because a tantrum is bad behaviour where as a meltdown is a symptom of a child's disability.Meltdowns occur in autistic people when they are over-stimulated or under stress, the situation becomes too difficult for the autistic person to cope with so the mind either shuts-down all input/output or there is a outward surge to shut-out inward stimulation. During a meltdown an autistic person may cry, shout, or become violent, followed by a period of 'shut-down' when they are unable to communicate or interact with others. A meltdown is not pleasant for the person to experience, it can be very uncomfortable and following a meltdown the person may be even more sensitive to sensory stimulation and less capable of functioning normally.It is best to prevent meltdowns - learn the child's needs and watch for signs that the child is struggling to cope, when this is seen the child should be removed from the situation if possible. Allow a child some 'time out' from the situation, giving them a distraction such as a tablet to play a game on or an activity to focus on, or allow the child to 'stimm' (self-stimulation, such as rocking or clapping).If a child has a meltdown then never scold them, it's beyond their control and punishing them or shaming them for this will only cause them more harm and increase problems later in the day or even for days following the meltdown. Try to move the child away from the situation, for example if the meltdown is because the child is in a loud busy place try to take them into a quiet room.During a meltdown it's important to avoid over-stimulation, this means avoiding talking to the child - tell them that it is okay, but refrain from trying to ask them why they are upset as they may not be able to communicate this during a meltdown. Also avoid fussing or trying to hug them too much, let them self-stimulate and calm down - leave them to sit somewhere to calm down or give them something to focus on.

Does ABA always help autistic people?
No, in fact ABA is considered to be abusive towards Autistic people.At it's best it is a form of training used to attempt to force an Autistic person to act like they are neurotypical - at it's core it assumes neurotypical is normal and that Autistic people are inferior, as such it is ableist and can teach low self-esteem in Autistic people, it also puts the burden on Autistic people to add to their strain by attempting to pass as neurotypical (rather than encouraging Autistic people to be themselves and encourage wider society to accept Autistic people). At it's worst ABA is abusive, involving abuse via punishment and denying Autistic people the things they need to maintain mental and neurological help e.g. preventing stimming or down time to cope with over stimulation, or punishing an Autistic person for suffering a meltdown which is beyond their control.
