In this paradigm-shifting lecture, Raun K. Kaufman takes us on a deep dive into the three neuro-states of autism so that we can approach our loved ones in a way that is matched (instead of mismatched) to their current neuro-state, enabling connection rather than overload, ease rather than anxiety, blossoming rather than meltdowns.

In this fascinating excerpt from a US Autism Association panel discussion featuring Raun K. Kaufman, Dr. Marlo Payne Thurman, Dr. Jeanne Eichler, and Dr. Theodore Henderson, Neuro-Crashes & more are discussed.

In this free-form panel discussion, occupational therapist Dr. Jeanne Eichler and expert Raun K. Kaufman discuss how those of us on and off the autism spectrum can get overwhelmed at times.

What happens during a meltdown? What causes a meltdown? Can these be prevented? Raun K. Kaufman takes us on a deep dive into the causes and intensifiers of Neuro-Crashes, explaining ways to prevent them and thus to prevent some causes of some crises, anxiety, and challenging behaviors.

This panel discussion offers perspectives on the topic of neuro-crashes and meltdowns from Raun K. Kaufman, who, with his colleague Kate C. Wilde, coined the term neuro-crash; from the psychiatric and neurology perspectives of Dr. Theodore Henderson; from the sensory arousal and modulation aspects from US Autism Association President, Dr. Marlo Payne Thurman; and with the insights of Dr. Jeanne Eichler, an occupational therapist.

In this eye-opening, fast-paced session, author and autism thought leader Raun K. Kaufman, who is a US Autism Association Advisory Board member, explains, in detail, how we can educate our loved ones on the spectrum and truly enable them to grow... without the pushing and the battles (which lead to meltdowns) that we so often experience.
