Alain | ADHD Burnout Coach :
Such an important distinction 💙 I think shutdowns especially get missed because from the outside they can just look like someone being “quiet,” disconnected, exhausted, or withdrawn… when really the nervous system is completely overwhelmed

As a person who has been medically diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, this is literally me. The only people who (in my eyes) help me in both my meltdowns and shutdowns are my bf and closest friends

I shut down in public until I can get home and meltdown 😭 this is kind of sad because I used to be fine having meltdowns in school or public and I've recently realised I haven't had one in public/school in years because I don't feel safe enough to anymore😭 like I've just slowly learnt over time that I'm not accepted if I don't mask😭

I didn’t know shutdowns were a thing for a long time, I thought I was just daydreaming a lot. Turns out I am completely overwhelmed and overworked

I think I can suffer from both, where sometimes a meltdown will be me crying and vomiting and shutdown where I cannot talk or cannot stop talking and potentially throwing up
