Managing Anxiety and Autism: Effective Techniques I Use Every Day

Video Description

Managing Autism and Anxiety is not an easy task. I recognise that everyone’s experience of autism and anxiety is a little bit different from each other. However, I’m not a psychologist, I’m not interested in other people’s definitions, I only care about what works. My focus is on managing my own body and emotions. So, the distinction between what anxiety means for me versus another person isn't personally important for me in this situation. My goal is to identify what I'm feeling for myself so that I can recognize it when it occurs and develop self-awareness around questions such as: How long does it last? What intensity does it have? When am I likely to feel it? What does it mean? What does it do? In this video, I will explain how I address these questions and share my strategies for overcoming anxiety.

If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you! I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30. Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know. Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person. Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way. Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too. ➡️️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-FpBZR7DbpvNj5UrFN8qUA?sub_confirmation=1 👋Connect with me: ➡️️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aspergersfromtheinside ➡️️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/autismfromtheinside.com.au ➡️️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AspieFromInside ➡️️ Written Blog: https://aspergersfromtheinside.com/ ➡️️ Email: [email protected] Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my channel!
