People who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder often struggle with mental health, particularly anxiety and depression. I myself am Autistic and have created this workbook for myself to use. It is one of my best-selling items in my Etsy shop.
This Autism workbook is designed to help the Autistic adult process their diagnosis and identify their unique traits, sensitivities, triggers, and needs. Autistic people need support in processing these things and using a journal/workbook is a great way to do that!
This printable 20-page workbook includes:
✅ Instructions on how to use each page
✅ Journal prompts to help you process your diagnosis and what it’s like for you to be Autistic
