Do you know the difference between a tantrum and a meltdown? "Autistic meltdowns are not the same as tantrums because they are typically a response to feeling overwhelmed by sensory stimuli or situations that are confusing or distressing. It is not about seeking attention or manipulating a situation to get what they desire but rather a genuine expression of being unable to cope with the situation at hand. 💙" ~ Reposted from @birdy_and_i . . . #autism #autismboy #autismawareness #autistic #autis
