Being autistic is not a pseudonym for anxiety, but they commonly co-exist. Autonomy cannot be the outcome without the journey of conquering our demons. This treasure of a book, for autistic teens and supporters, is an illustrated road map, with appropriate exercises, signposts and choregraphed terrain highlighting a safe way forward. -- Dr. Wenn B. Lawson (PhD) CPsychol AFBPsS MAP This book provides an understanding of how anxiety can present in autistic young adults and adolescents and how to assist them in reducing their anxiety symptoms. The book is full of practical advice and is relevant to parents of autistic adolescents and young adults and also clinicians. The book is written from a strengths-based perspective and is inclusive and respectful of autistic people. Highly recommended. -- Yenn Purkis, autistic, ADHD and non-binary author and advocate
