Anxiety & Autism and Understanding Other People
October 15 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
This workshop provides an introduction to anxiety, which is thought to affect about 40% of autistic people, some of the things that can trigger it, the problems that it can cause and ways to recognise signs of anxiety and manage emotions, plus the different ways in which individuals relate to other people, and the visual, verbal and hidden clues (theory of mind) as to how someone may be feeling. It also looks at interactions in a range of situations, including at home, at work, when socialising and in intimate relationships, with tips on things to think about in each case.
This workshop, which is free of charge, is open to parents and family carers – including the partners and siblings – of autistic adults who are registered as patients with a GP surgery in Berkshire.
