A comprehensive guide for parents to support their child with autism and anxiety. It covers what anxiety is, how it affects behavior in children with autism, and offers practical strategies to manage a range of anxieties, including separation, social, performance, phobias, and general anxiety. With chapters dedicated to related behaviors such as Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and advice on managing meltdowns, this guide is a clear, concise, and practical resource for parents and caregivers.

Suitable for children of all ages, it offers a communicational gateway for parents and caregivers to help explain an autism diagnosis to their child. With clear, short sentences and simple 2D characters, this book can be revisited at any time and adapted to the child's own needs. Originally created for the author's son, it has since become a worldwide resource for families and therapists alike.
