This study is part of the TAJREED® Framework Series (Zidan, 2026), focusing on applied clinical implementation and structured reasoning in behavioral analysis. This exploratory case study presents a structured clinical analysis of a sensory meltdown episode in a child with severe Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), using the TAJREED® framework. The study aims to demonstrate how structured clinical reasoning can transform observational data into functional understanding and actionable intervention strategies. The analysis applies a Dual-Load Model to interpret the interaction between sensory overload and physiological states, offering a coherent explanation of the observed behavioral episode. The findings highlight the importance of systematic reasoning in bridging the gap between observation and intervention, and support the role of TAJREED® as a higher-order framework for organizing clinical decision-making in autism and behavioral sciences.
