If you would like to know more, please do stay tuned.įirst and foremost, I would love for everyone to understand that meltdowns are, in fact, a neurological event, not unlike a seizure, or a panic attack.Īctually, as someone who has both seizures and panic attacks, I can say meltdowns are quite similar to both these things. This week, I’m going to be talking about Autistic meltdowns, and how to recognize Autistic meltdowns, and some signs of Autistic meltdowns, so that hopefully you can learn to predict them, and notice when they’re happening, so that you can stop the meltdown, or get to someplace safe before it’s too late if you or someone you care about is having a meltdown. Since finding out I’m Autistic, one of the most important things, that has transformational in my own life, has been learning to recognize meltdowns, shutdowns, and other types of overload, as they’re happening, before they happen, before I get to the point of no return. Throughout my entire life, even before knowing I was Autistic, I have experienced Autistic meltdowns, shutdowns, and other types of overload and overwhelm. I’m an Autistic adult, but I didn’t find out I was Autistic until I was 29 years old. The words “Signs of Autistic Meltdowns” floats in front of them in pale teal and green letters.
