At Anne Robertson Coaching I am dedicated to supporting individuals with neurodiversity and helping them navigate the challenges they may face in daily life. One crucial area I focus on is recognizing and preventing what is commonly referred to as an “autonomic storm” – an episode of sensory overload that is often misunderstood as a meltdown.
\Many people mistakenly believe that tantrums and “autonomic storm” are the same, and that they are behaviors only experienced by children. While these behaviors can appear similar at times, it’s important to understand that an “autonomic storm” is very different from a tantrum.
