Autism and Understanding Anxiety This training approaches anxiety as a contextual and relational experience, often emerging when environments place sustained demands on autistic children to adapt, mask, or function without adequate support. Rather than viewing anxiety as an internal flaw, the session highlights the role of environmental unpredictability, sensory overwhelm, communication barriers, and relational misattunement, particularly in primary school settings. Participants will explore: How anxiety is experienced physiologically and emotionally by autistic children. The cumulative impact of masking, fatigue, and unmet needs from an autistic perspective. How anxiety often reflects threats to safety, predictability, and belonging. Practical supports that reduce anxiety by changing expectations, environments, and adult responses, thereby restoring a child's sense of agency, belonging and security.
