was asking one of my friends if she felt that meltdowns were anxiety from her experiences?

Today I want to talk to you about development and the autism spectrum because they develop in different ways and times to other children.

Why black and white thinking? It’s the way that people on the spectrum think. I must admit, it can and has caused some problems or difficulties.

Have you ever seen a meltdown that just seems to go on and on and on? The ones that can take up loads of your time and energy?

I will admit that these two things are one of the areas I find difficult to deal with. But I do know that is my problem and not theirs.

You probably have realised that most babies and children like to look in your face and not only at what they are doing or what is in front of them.

Some years ago, I was going to do some artwork in an app on my ipad, using a photo of me holding Johnathan in my left arm and the top of his head and face was near me.

I must admit, even before Johnathan was born, I was considering my own clothing and what it might feel to the baby inside of me.

I want to talk about the two different types of behaviour and need when you deal with a child on the spectrum. One is the common area of tantrums that you are used to dealing with.
