Many autistic people find it hard to tell the difference between a friend and an acquaintance. Here is a 🧵 to help you tell the difference.
ALT This is the title slide of a set of visual slides. The title is ‘Autism and Relationships’. The subtitle is ‘Are we friends or acquaintances?’. Between the title and subtitle is an illustration of two figures standing side by side and hugging. The slide is a pale pink and the font is black. All the following slides follow this style.

Children and young people told us how they cope with anxiety:
• Stretching my body (found exercises online),
• I listen to music,
• I call my pal,
• I do colouring in or Lego,
• I learned mindfulness
• I go for a walk
#mentalhealthawarenessweek2023
People try to avoid feeling anxious - taking drugs, drinking, always keeping busy. Learn to sit with anxiety. Notice how it feels in your body, relax any muscles that are tense, notice your thoughts
