For this last week of autism awareness/acceptance month, on Wednesday April 23, I will be posting a video talking about autism meltdowns as an adult. I’ve been hesitant to talk about this for a few reasons. The number 1 reason is because of the judgment that surrounds us autistic adults who still go through meltdowns/breakdowns. The second reason is I just don’t like to paint autism in this bad light. But if I didn’t discuss this, well, I wouldn’t be being very honest with myself or with anyone else. I’ll be talking about sensory meltdowns and emotional meltdowns, and how they’re not tantrums.
