Abstract: |
Anxiety is believed to be the root cause of many of the difficulties experienced by people on the autism spectrum. It is often precipitated by a change in routine or sensory overload. Drawing on her own experience, the author takes a practical approach to what happens when things spiral out of control and explores what leads to meltdowns and tantrums, and what can be done to help. She uses real-life examples to explain how autistic people think and distinguishes between meltdowns and tantrums. The book explains how they are different, how each can begin, how to identify triggers, and how to prevent outbursts from happening. Practical ideas for avoiding anxiety are offered throughout, accompanied by calming techniques and suggestions for dealing with tantrums when they occur. The book is aimed at those on the autism spectrum, their families and friends, and professionals working with them. |
