Autism and anxiety are one. An autistic person often experiences anxiety attacks due to their inability to properly process the world around them. Many autistic children experience extreme difficulties in coping with the ever changing world.
Due to an inability for most autistic children to soothe themselves you may find they become overly anxious as a result of minor routine changes. Autistic children tend to be visual learners so using a picture schedule or picture book to show what will happen may help ease their anxieties.
To the anxious autistic child the world around them is unstable and ever changing.
