darkshine Report post Posted September 11, 2012 Funnily enough I almost started a topic about meltdowns yesterday... and whether it's possible to recognise and take action to avoid them... is that what the book is about in any way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkshine Report post Posted September 11, 2012 I forever fail to understand this world and the people in it Me too ! I keep thinking I should change it and then I change my mind again cuz a load of stuff happens... What it should say is- I think I understand things and then a whole load of stuff happens to make me think I will never understand things... I think I'll leave it as it is for a while longer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeanneA Report post Posted September 11, 2012 Hi yes it is about meltdowns an tantrums - the difference between them and how to try to avoid them. It is a very interesting read I would recommend the book to anyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special_talent123 Report post Posted September 12, 2012 my meltdowns are because I am feeling overwhelmed such as speaking to bank and I do not understand what is being said, or it can be sensory problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
