Anxiety is one of the most common challenges for autistic children and young people, yet it often goes unrecognised or is misunderstood. Difficulties with interoception – the ability to notice and interpret internal body signals such as a racing heart or shallow breathing – can make it harder to identify and manage feelings of stress. This webinar will examine the links between autism, anxiety, and interoception, and introduce mindfulness-based approaches that can enhance self-awareness and promote calm. Parents, carers, and professionals will leave with practical strategies to support autistic individuals in building resilience and improving wellbeing.
