Our society has no idea what a meltdown actually is and why it manifests itself in an uncontrollable emotional outburst, resulting in a shutdown or burnout.

Therefore today we will uncover what meltdown, shutdown and burnout are in people with autism or highly sensitive people.

We will discuss the role of the central nervous system within the whole phenomenon.

And in the end we will look at a 5 steps process to re-regulate meltdowns, shutdowns and burnouts in adult people with autism or SPS.

Let me tell you one thing upfront: What I can conclude so far is, that meltdowns, shutdowns and burnouts become rarer the older people get and the more they learn to re-regulate their nervous system. So there definitely are ways to handle it.
