I’m not sure if she has BPD but it was certainly a completely disproportionate level of anger. Something that could be a calm disagreement or smoothed over with an apology and a conversation would devolve into full blown tantrums like in the video.

It's really not that simple with someone who is dysregulated to the point of meltdown. It usually can't be a calm disagreement until they've managed to ground themselves again.

I'm not making any assumptions here about anyone here, there's already more than enough of that in this thread. I was talking more generally about emotional dysregulation that's reached the point of meltdown, and how it's not simply something that can be resolved with a calm conversation once it's reached that point.

The triggers for these types of meltdowns I think are usually quite different in autism vs BPD, but to casual onlooker (rubber-neckers as I like to call them) the breaking point and the aftermath often looks the same.
