Understanding Autism and Anxiety with Mary Kate Robb
On this episode, licensed clinical social worker, Mary Kate Robb is here to talk about the connection between autism and anxiety. She will tell us what recent research says that could explain why it is common for individuals with autism to also have anxiety. Mary Kate will also talk about whether or not it is in a teen's best interest to be told about their autism diagnosis.
All human beings are unique individuals and this is certainly true for people with autism. Mary Kate and I recorded this episode in the hopes of spreading autism awareness and acceptance. We did our best to approach this conversation with sensitivity and compassion. Whether or not you have a child with an autism diagnosis, we think you will find this interview helpful and appreciate you listening in!
