  • Hi yes probably anxiety so how do you help a 7 year old deal and manage his own anxiety on a day to day basis - need some simple tools and techniques for him. Any ideas?

    Working out, not easy, what is stressing him would be a useful start. I'm autistic and so is my daughter and the major source of anxiety at your son's age for both of us was school. The social anxiety of having to interact with many other, unpredictable, people and sensory problems with sounds, smells and textures. I do not know what your situation is regarding your son's school, so cannot really suggest anything. Uncertainty is the other big anxiety cause in autistic children, if you can make things as stable and predictable as possible at home, it will allow anxiety to be minimised.
