Hi everyone. As many Autistic people know, we all have these meltdowns. The medical term is called sensory overload. It means that your brain can't process all the information coming to your brain. Therefore, emotional or physical reactions release all the information that is in the brain to make room for new information. There is many different ways you can support yourself during a meltdown. From watching tv to playing with your favourite toy. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL SPACE WHERE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN AND TO LET OTHERS KNOW THAT YOU NEED SOME TIME ALONE.
