The Difference Between Meltdowns and Tantrums?
If you have been combing the internet looking for information trying to determine if your child has been having a meltdown or just a tantrum I am here to help. It can get confusing because in many articles the author refers to meltdowns as tantrums and they don’t distinguish if they are really meaning a tantrum or if they are talking about a true autism meltdown.
To distinguish the difference, you need to know three things
1. Does the behavior end immediately if your child gets their way?
2. Does the behavior escalate regardless of what you try?
3. Is your child responsive to your words and actions?
