Autistic meltdowns, as portrayed by Hollywood, involve what look like toddler temper-tantrums.
But that's not always how reactions to being overstimulated occur. Some meltdowns are quiet, some are passive, and some come across as a lot of anger.
The difference is that the rage from a tantrum is targeted and manipulative; the rage from a meltdown is (to an extent) uncontrollable and the brain reverting to a more base nature as it resets.
Get in on the rage fest with this episode about meltdowns and anger. PS I'm trying something different, by moving the title to the front and the episode number to the end, perhaps more people will be able to see this.
