Autism and anxiety

Does anyone have any advice for coping with anxiety please, like any tips, also does anyone else have a struggle relationship with their parents I feel like mine don’t really understand and I always feel like I’m doing something wrong.

Hi there Casey, welcome to the online community.  It's good to have you here, and it's lovely to see that other community members have already been welcoming you.

I'd like to direct you to a couple of NAS guidance pages related to your post, which I've linked below.

Anxiety - this page has a lot of information about anxiety, including help and support you may be able to get to assist in managing it.

A guide for parents and carers of autistic people - while this is aimed at parents, it contains information that you might find helpful in talking to your parents about your autism in a way that may help them understand your particular difficulties more.

I hope these links are helpful to you, and am wishing you all the best going forward.  I hope you enjoy your time in our online community.

Hi Casey

You are not alone in this.....I know it's hard to do sometimes but talking about it with someone I trust helps, then you aren't carrying it around in your head all the time. I feel like I'm doing things wrong a lot too but it doesn't mean I'm wrong as a person. My son is 26 so not far from your age and id say the same to him.

Be kind to yourself.
