About this event
What is Autistic Meltdown? Can you define it?
Are you confident about the possible causes for it? Can you tell one from an awkward attempt at emotional manipulation?
Can meltdowns be prevented? Can you do anything helpful as an independent observer? A carer? What if you are the person about to go into a full-blown meltdown?
What happens during the episode? What about after one?
How much control does the person retain over their actions and emotions during the meltdown?
