Anxiety in older children with Autism

There are many co-morbid conditions that occur in children with Autism. The single biggest issue however remains to be anxiety in the child, which can take over practically all the facets of the child’s life. This anxiety gets expressed by the child in the form of certain behavioral traits (For example, bouts of anxiety when waiting at the airport). One solution to reduce anxiety associated with this is to prepare the child of the series of events before hand in order to avoid the behavioral repercussions on the day of travel. 

Other co-morbidities the child may experience include mood disorder (in older children), psychosis, and hallucinations (both visual and auditory in nature).

Parent must learn and anticipate these psychiatric co-morbidities that occur, and seek appropriate guidance to manage them.

But remember, the core problem of Autism has more to do with social communication. Autism co-morbidities are symptoms of a very complex biologically determined behavior disorder called Autism.  Hence, address all symptoms from a behavior management standpoint.
