This is a complete introduction to autism and anxiety in children. Full of clear, concise advice, and practical strategies, this book is a treasure trove of information for parents. It covers the basics such as what anxiety is, how it manifests behaviourally, and why it is common in autism, before presenting Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) informed practical strategies for managing a common range of anxieties: separation, social, performance, phobias, and generalised anxiety. It also has chapters dedicated to related behaviours including Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and advice on managing meltdowns.
