General characteristics of an autistic meltdown can involve amongst other things yelling, banging or thrashing around. On the surface they look very similar to immature temper tantrums but in truth are very different. Rebecca Sharrock explains from her own personal perspective why this is the case.
A person's memories are very important as they make up every part of who they are. Without our memories we would have no knowledge or emotions from past experiences. We would also have no communication skills or strategies for learning new skills.
I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder at the age of sixteen. It is a widely heard of and spoken about disorder yet the true characteristics of OCD are often misunderstood.
