Our Kids in Mind

Thriving with neurodiversity with Tony Attwood


Listen Later

In this episode of Our Kids, In Mind, Clinical Psychologists, Bettina Hohnen and Jane Gilmour meet world autism expert, Dr. Tony Attwood. Tony is a clinical psychologist with 30 years experience in the field, and has written many books and academic publications on autism, including the renowned, ‘The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome’. 

 

What impact does anxiety have on neurodiverse young people and how can parents support them? As Tony, Jane and Bettina explore Tony’s recent book, ‘10 Steps to Reducing Your Child's Anxiety on the Autism Spectrum’, they explore how adults can help young people to manage strong emotions by bringing them to life through friendly characters or metaphors. 

They raise the value of simply witnessing your child’s strong emotions, and how special interests can become superpowers if they are used as tools to teach children about their feelings in this episode about autism and anxiety.
