This might be a stupid question but do all people living with autism have meltdowns in some form or another?

Hi recombinantsocks, yep totally possible but the feedback we are getting from all the professionals all points towards a diagnosis in some form. hearing checked - all fine apparently. There are some behaviours that seem to be textbook like being non verbal, not seeming to understand instructions, lining things up, limited diet with occasional extreme reactions to food he doesnt like, lack of interaction with others and he tries to avoid eye contact - but then on the other hand, he isnt distant, no hand flapping or stimming, no meltdowns, no obvious sensory issues - I know those are all extreme traits but you get the jist.
