Why is it so important to address anxiety?
Many autistic children and adults experience anxiety. It can affect a person psychologically and physically.
Constant anxiety can be extremely distressing for autistic people. It can lead to meltdowns, self-harm and depression. Common triggers include noisy environments and the difficulty of social interactions.
It is important to identify what is causing a person’s anxiety and then to take steps to reduce it.
Our guides talks about the different ways to manage anxiety, from keeping a diary, learning relaxation techniques, or using our Brain in Hand app.
