About the Course

This presentation was featured at Geneva Centre for Autism's 2020 symposium. Anxiety disorders are among the most common and impairing psychiatric comorbidities seen in children and young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Anxiety-related issues and OCD are often misdiagnosed, unrecognized, or ignored. A major challenge for practitioners is determining whether observed symptoms are related to the core features of ASD or indicate the presence of OCD.
