In this video I’ll be looking at and talking about what causes Asperger’s meltdowns and what has it got to do with sensory overloads. Helping people understand Autism from a person with Autism’s perspective.
Almost every person on the autism spectrum (Aspergers included) will encounter this common trait. It is probably one of the hardest traits of autism and people find it difficult how to deal with Aspergers meltdowns in adults. No matter the age of the person with autism or a sensory processing disorder, there will be meltdowns present.
It is often seen in children as a tantrum or misbehaviour. In older people it is seen as Aspergers rage in adults, but this isn’t the case for either. The person is taking on too many sensory inputs, much like that of sensory overload anxiety, but in Aspergers they have triggers and an Asperger’s meltdown trigger can be hidden to the neurotypical person.
I will also share with you some tips and tricks that may help overcome an autism meltdown or meltdowns.
