Deborah has written a 240 page book which will be ground breaking when it comes to differentiating meltdowns from tantrums. Anxiety is the root cause of many of the difficulties experienced by people on the autism spectrum, and is often caused by things such as changes in routine, or sensory overload, just to name a few. Deborah Lipsky takes a practical look at what happens when things spiral out of control, exploring what leads to meltdowns and tantrums and what can be done to help. Drawing on her own personal experience and using real life examples to explain how autistic people think, the author distinguishes between meltdowns and tantrums, showing how they are different, how each can begin, and most important how to identify triggers and prevent outbursts from happening in the first place. Practical and simple solutions to avoiding anxiety are offered throughout, and these are accompanied by calming techniques and suggestions for dealing with tantrums when they occur. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the autism spectrum.
