Its begun.... β𧩠series - The autistic world π§©β Photo 1 of 15 β After the storm β *** This photo was taken after my son had a autistic meltdown .... See and feel this image, raw emotion captured . How do you feel ? What do you see ? Β© This photo is copyrighted Β© - ** permission was granted to capture this moment ofcource . β¨A good analogy for a meltdown is to imagine that a child in school is like a bottle of coke that is being shaken at various times throughout the day. If the lid isnβt lifted to let out a few bubbles every so often, the pressure will continue to build. Once the child returns home, they no longer have to bottle it up and they explode into a meltdown. Many people have described a meltdown as feeling their head is imploding β as if their brain is quite literally melting. They lose control over mind and body, unable to think or process information, and instead they only feel. Feeling every sound, every movement, and more, happening around them, their head is overwhelmed with a tidal wave of sensory awareness that eventually crashes down. Each person responds to a meltdown differently, with some breaking down and crying while others become verbally abusive. Some lash out physically against themselves, or those nearby, and others express their pain in solitude.β¨ https://www.paypal.me/bexie0 Any donations into this project /autism awareness warmly welcomed with Heartfield gratitude xx **** This piece will be available once the series is complete , limited numbers of print / canvas. 25% of the proceeds will go to the national autistic society along with some donations.
