Understanding anxiety in neurodivergent kids and teens

​Many neurodivergent children and teens experience anxiety at higher levels than their neurotypical peers, often in ways that are not immediately recognizable. This anxiety can show up as sensory sensitivities, constant worries, or even in forms like irritability and aggression. As parents, it can be hard to know how to best support your child through these feelings. In this 30-minute session, Dr. Emily will break down the unique ways anxiety manifests in neurodivergent youth and offer practical, compassionate strategies to support your child’s well-being.
