As both a clinical psychologist and parent of an autistic daughter, the wonderful Chloe Porter shines a light on anxiety and autism in a way few could. We know that anxiety tends to go hand-in-hand with children with autism and our conversation for this episode helps explain why. Importantly, Chloe shares what parents can do to look after themselves, help minimise the likelihood of anxiety in their child, recognise it when it shows up and support their child to recognise and regulate anxiety and overwhelm.
