Managing Anxiety in Autistic Children with Dr Ann Ozsivadjian

Anxiety in autistic children can look very different from what most people expect. It might not look like worry. It might look like refusal, meltdown, withdrawal, or a sudden change in behaviour that seems to come from nowhere.

This guest webinar with Dr Ann Ozsivadjian — clinical psychologist, visiting senior lecturer at King's College London, and author of ‘Helping Your Autistic Child’ — is for parents and carers who want a deeper understanding of how anxiety works in autistic children and what actually helps.

We'll explore the unique ways anxiety shows up in autistic children, the factors that contribute to heightened stress, and how to spot the signs that might not be immediately obvious. We'll look at how to adapt approaches to meet your individual child's needs and how to create environments that genuinely support regulation and wellbeing.

You'll come away with evidence-based insights you can put into practice, and a clearer sense of how to support your child in a way that fits who they actually are.
