Today’s #AutChat is about shutdowns. Shutdowns are sometimes described like meltdowns, but turned inward: instead of a visible response, it becomes harder to respond.

Q1: Do you have shutdowns? What is a shutdown like for you? #AutChat

Q2: What triggers a shutdown for you? If you also have meltdowns, are the triggers the same? Different? #AutChat

Q3: What else helps you during a shutdown? What makes shutdowns worse? #AutChat

Q4: How do other people respond when you have a shutdown? What could they do to be more helpful? #AutChat
