Autism and Anxiety with Neurodivergent Rebel

Is anxiety common in autistic people? Why is anxiety co-morbid with autism? How can you overcome your own anxiety disorder? Do you suffer with a lot of panic attacks? In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas talks to Christa (@neurodivergentrebel) about the struggles of anxiety disorders and how they tie into an autism diagnosis all too often. We explore the biological and social sides to anxiety, ways you notice your stress levels increasing, ways to prevent future panic attacks, and mindsets to develop in order to cope with the disorder.  Christa received a diagnosis of ASD late in life and it brought her through all the different stages of grief, before she accepted this new information. She never planned to be such a social media star, but since the rise in her popularity, she's been helping others and raising awareness.  Autism conferences, podcasts, videos, writing, art... she's done it all and she is here today to chat about overcoming anxiety!   If you have an exciting or interesting story and want to appear on the next podcast, please contact me at: aspergersgrowth@gmail.com  Christa's Links:-   ►Instagram - https://instagram.com/neurodivergentrebel?igshid=jno1b8najpld  [https://instagram.com/neurodivergentrebel?igshid=jno1b8najpld] ►Website - https://neurodivergentrebel.com/about/ ►Twitter - https://twitter.com/NeuroRebel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Channel Merchandise - https://teespring.com/stores/aspergers-growth Support via Patreon! - https://www.patreon.com/aspergersgrowth Social Media ♥ - ☼ Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/AspergersGrowth] - Aspergers Growth ☼ Twitter [https://twitter.com/AspergersGrowth]/Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/aspergersgrowth/] - @aspergersgrowth ♫ Listen On - Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6vjXgCB7Q3FwtQ2YqPjnEV Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/thoughty-auti-the-autism-mental-health-podcast/id1470689079 Music - ♫ Track: [Chill Music] Ikson - Reverie [No Copyright Music] Advert Track: Empty Parking Lot - Colours Of Illusion [Epidemic Sound]
