I consider my shut downs as me walking away from things than having a meltdown when I get too overwhelmed. I never knew I had them until my mother mentioned them. I just thought a shutdown was when you go mute and you do nothing else but I guess not.
Do you react the same when you have sensory overload as a shutdown?
Note: Is it an Aspie thing that it was really hard to only quote part of the first sentence and not all of it? Someone can start a new thread if this is leaving the OP's topic.
