"Control a meltdown before it controls you. This book offers tried-and-true solutions to minimize and circumvent the often frightening circumstances that surround the cycle of meltdowns, not only for the child with autism, but others in the environment as well. A highly practical and user-friendly resource, 'Autism and Difficult Moments' describes the three-stage cycle of a meltdown and identifies effective, evidence-based strategies to use at each stage. In addition, the book outlines how to prevent the occurrence of meltdowns through instruction, interpretation, and coaching. The author emphasizes the importance of utilizing systematic instruction and teachable moments before and after a meltdown. Dr. Myles also notes that meltdowns are not intentional."
