Individuals on the autism spectrum often have difficulties understanding what they and others around them are feeling, and the misinterpretation of social and physical events can result in anxiety, sadness, and anger. In this dynamic presentation, world-renowned psychologist Dr. Tony Attwood teaches caregivers how to implement cognitive behavior therapy to help children and adults manage their emotions. According to Dr. Attwood, individuals who are experiencing anxiety, sadness, or anger can learn to recognize and control their emotions with a logical understanding of emotional triggers and responses (in themselves and others). Dr. Attwood also offers important advice on the following topics: assessing emotional needs; avoiding and correcting the misinterpretation of emotion; building self-esteem and improving self-awareness; managing anxiety, depression, and anger; and defining physical and social tools.
