I haven't had one in literally eight months, but they used to be very frequent and very severe. When I had tantrums I had these weird out of body experiences that made it so I couldn't feel my feet. It also made it feel like I was both high and drunk at the same time and I would get severe memory lapses of things that happened during the tantrums. Is this what temper tantrums are like for other people on the spectrum or is it just me?

No it's not just you. And there are differences between autistic meltdowns and tantrums:
