Over twenty years ago, I was diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder. Then, at the age of 44, I got the correct diagnosis: I'm autistic.

It has made a huge difference to my life because I know understand what causes the physical sensations of panic in my body - and it's not anxiety.

In this video I discuss the three major things that create the sensations of panic and anxiety that are all to do with being autistic rather than having Generalised Anxiety Disorder, and can therefore be managed differently. It has had a very beneficial impact on my mental health. I hope this helps you too!
