Being asked to do something they don’t want to do = meltdown

Making a mistake socially or academically = meltdown

Also another angle, we in developed countries look at the clients with compassion because they have low funding, always micro-managed, controled food and spending etc. whereas I have heard from staff from underdeveloped countries that people with these problem get 0 help or funding. People from underprivileged countries might look at these clients as “privileged” compared to the people they have seen back home. Is our compassion based on the comparison of our own quality of life?
