Is it inevitable that as people with Autism grow their meltdowns become worse and they become more aggressive with them? or does this very much depend on each individual?
I don’t think autism and agression is related (haven’t done a literature search so not sure what evidence there is- just speaking from personal experience and based on my autistic friends). I am very non-agressive- my approach is to please to blend in and when I am upset I usually internalise it or cry.
well there is punching objects as a symptom of meltdown in males....also mens depression can manifest in anger and lashing out too.seems likely more a man thing that we get angry outbursts.
