In this episode of Divergent Voices, autistic advocate and YouTube content creator Purple Ella speaks with neurodevelopmental specialist Hannah Hayward and autistic blogger and advocate Emily-Katy about autistic overload and meltdowns. They discuss the difference between meltdowns and shutdowns, how to recognize the signs, how to support yourself, and what loved ones can do to help support you too.
