Hi, I hope everyone's having a good day. I'm giving therapy a try and something that my therapist is proposing is CBT. I've heard of it but don't know a lot about it, or if it's any good. . . My therapist is experienced in autism though, so I'm hoping she can help me as I haven't left my home grounds in about 5 years (I don't mind at all!) but my parents are wanting me to get help. . . I'm perfectly happy and content personally though the anxiety can be crippling at times. When I feel anxious I like to go to my workshop and work on my Audi or watch one of my favourite shows.
Autism and anxiety, seems you cannot have one without the other, which is a shame as being autistic is something I mostly enjoy and am proud to be. I'm hoping CBT can reduce some anxious tendencies I have. If you have experience of it please feel free to share how it went, mine will be on Tuesday, though my therapist has said it's not a problem if I'm not up to it. She's a lovely woman, more than understanding and patient of my problems and situations.
