Miscellaneous **Does Your Child With High-Functioning Autism Struggle With Anxiety? Anxiety is one of the biggest challenges faced by children with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder and Aspergers Disorder. Your child can conquer his or her fears and participate more fully in home, school, and community life with this innovative program for children 8-14 years old. About the Face Your Fears Group: Face Your Fears Program is an affordable 14-week program. This group is for high-functioning children who are verbally fluent, have a diagnosis on the autism spectrum, and also have difficulties managing their anxiety. This group focuses on helping children and their parents identify their worries, develop coping strategies, and practice facing their Fears with guidance and support from group facilitators. Parent participation is vital for sustaining strategies, therefore parent and child participation are required. Participants will work in a large group for part of each session and then divide into child and parent groups.
