Résumé
Based on dozens of intensive interviews with parents, clinical psychologists, teachers, and more, Melting Down is the fictional story of Benjamin, a boy diagnosed with Asperger's disorder and additional challenging behavior. From the time Benjamin is a toddler, he knows he is different : he doesn't understand social and emotional cues, does not know how to play with his sister or other children, and dislikes making eye contact.
And his tantrums are not like normal tantrums ; they're meltdowns that will eventually make regular schooling — and day-to-day life — impossible. Told from Benjamin's perspective, Melting Down gives a unique glimpse into the journey taken by children with Asperger's disorder and additional challenging behavior, demonstrating that the path toward hope isn't simple — but with the right tools and teammates, it's possible.
