* Do you feel like you are coping with an unprecedented degree of uncertainty? Are you stressed out about things like, Covid-19, climate change, global turmoil, political tensions, or are you frustrated because you can’t identify what stresses you out?
* This session is designed for adults on the spectrum and families of individuals with Aspergers/Autism and features a short presentation, followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
* Webinar participants will share insights about what makes them anxious and how (or if ) they can tell if they are anxious.
* They will also learn about the physical mechanics of anxiety, how to pay attention to their body’s response to anxiety, how to break out the thought traps that sometimes ensnare anxious minds, and the best anxiety coping techniques for “doers” vs.“thinkers.”
