I am an autistic female but was not diagnosed until age 25. Many women are never diagnosed. Your daughter will have a great life with supportive parents looking out for her.

Matthew 11 28. ‘Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light’. Jesus said this; so much comfort can be had by letting Jesus know your thoughts, your trials, your fears. Noone knows you better and loves you more.Relishing Life with Severe Autismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881057216064096815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382300540439480296.post-77864116346486200262021-04-28T04:19:26.990-07:002021-04-28T04:19:26.990-07:00As the grandmother of a 2 year old nonverbal autis...As the grandmother of a 2 year old nonverbal autistic child, this is a wonderful insight.

I am autistic too and have been trying to get anxiety under control also. I too came to the thought that it is biological in me. I have downloaded the Calm app. It has nice meditations on it as well as sleep stories, ASMR, relaxing music etc. I have been trying to use CBT and exercise and healthy eating. I think that managing anxiety involves a mixture of different things. Medication helps to take the edge off and I am nicer to live with because of it, but it is not a magic pill. I do all of the other things too. Anyway, sorry if I am rambling on! I am glad to have found your blog.Loz Wilmurrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686482025146255866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382300540439480296.post-42156523336544227362021-01-17T19:52:52.411-08:002021-01-17T19:52:52.411-08:00My 3yr old son is autistic and non verbal.

I thought he was just looking for attention. Now I'm wondering if he can't control it. Your blog is helping me. Thanks Philip.

Then in a new school program he started jogging 3 times a day for 20 minutes each time at about 6 MPH. Of course there were other changes but I am just mentioning the exercise. How much exercise do you get?Arthur Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177577505916908123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382300540439480296.post-51789601452316844542020-07-06T20:24:25.021-07:002020-07-06T20:24:25.021-07:00Hi Phil.

I just recently accepted a para-educator job at an elementary school, and I will specifically be working with non-verbal kiddos. One thing I did not expect while reading this post, was the topic of anxiety and the tips you shared.<br /><br />I have struggled with anxiety since I can remember. This whole post, I want to commend you on. But, one thing I want to commend you on that stuck out to me, was your quote: "This summer my goal is to get my anxiety under control....gradually exposing myself to situations that cause me stress and not back away from challenges." What a challenging and inspiring thought. <br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Don't ever stop doing that.<br /><br />Take Care.Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789627578151943625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382300540439480296.post-48913622170278904932020-07-01T04:29:09.872-07:002020-07-01T04:29:09.872-07:00Thanks for your post Phil.

Max constantly brings attention to his stomach not feeling right also. Your focus on your diet and exercise is very good. I’m sure that you will feel better. keep up the great work.Max’s dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389823006462822788noreply@blogger.com
