The anxiety levels commonly found in children with autism affect social skills, memory, learning, and attention span, and often lead to meltdowns.

These factors include: Rigidity; Sensory Sensitivities; Social Challenges; Communication Barriers; Task Frustration. With this clear and comprehensive guide, parents, teachers, and therapists can take the first crucial step towards managing anxiety, relieving distress, and unlocking potential.
