 [[Daniel Larson]], being autistic and having several other known mental issues, is easy to agitate and often finds himself unable to de-escalate/leave situations that result in him having an autistic meltdown.
-Meltdowns are a response to overstimulation and other factors in autistic people. During a meltdown, the individual loses some control over their physical and emotional status..<ref>https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour/meltdowns/all-audiences</ref> This loss of control manifests in many ways, usually verbally (shouting, crying, screaming), but sometimes in cases of severe autism, physically (biting, kicking, etc.) In other times, it can be during sensory overload, where an individual feels pain and must protect themselves, or it can be thanks to unexpected events, as autistic people usually dislike those.

In other times, it can be during sensory overload, where an individual feels pain and must protect themselves, or it can be thanks to unexpected events, as autistic people usually follow a routine, and disrupting of them can cause a meltdown. Though this isn’t to say autism is entirely the cause of meltdowns.
