Positively Autism March Topic: Autism and Anxiety

This month, we’ll discuss anxiety among individuals with autism. According the American Psychological Association, Anxiety is “an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure.” Since individuals with autism may experience heightened levels of anxiety, we’ll be exploring this topic and sharing resources to help reduce anxiety.
