Asperger's Syndrome and Anxiety

Anyone can experience anxiety. It is common to feel anxious when in a stressful or challenging situation. However, autistic people can feel anxious every day. It's thought that the majority of autistic people experience high levels of anxiety.

In this book, The Girl With The Curly Hair aims to help autistic people to understand what anxiety is. She's observed that they may have signs and symptoms but do not recognise that anxiety is what they are experiencing!

Once an autistic person is able to identify that they feel anxious, they can improve their self-understanding further and incorporate strategies to help them manage their anxiety.

With strategies in place, an autistic person may be able to live a lot more comfortably day to day.

All of the strategies suggested are ones The Girl With The Curly Hair personally uses. They have been life-changing for her. She hopes other autistic people find them useful as well.
