Wanted to say I’ve just read your book “Understanding & Facilitating the achievement of Autistic Potential”. How refreshing! And accurate and insightful. Would love to know where else I could look/read to find more information about how to help with anxiety (for our 10 year old boy). Public says go private, private says go public – both say oh it’s quite specialised and not easy. I would love to read/hear about some strategies somewhere. Looking for that rather than “therapy sessions” per se, as they all seem to be at the other end of Auckland….not realistic with time and/or cost and/or the fact the travel will add to the anxiety.
Hi Michelle I have been working on this all year and you can find a free resource online now that you can do at home with you son https://mindfulbodyawarenessdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/interoception_101_explan_track_activity.pdf
They have been really useful for adults and kids from age 3 to minimise anxiety over time. Just need to do one or two activities twice a day. You will see a difference in about 8-10 weeks.
