Thank you, very timely as recently diagnosed DD is suffering from anxiety a big deal at the moment.

This was another lightbulb going on for me.

Cooking I've had anxiety issues all my life due to (until recently undiagnosed) ASD. I've tried a variety of things (counselling, medication) but the one thing that's helped me is doing mindfulness - I use the Headspace app.

Sorry I meant to say it might be worth suggesting to your DD?

I need to check this mindfulness thing out, a couple of people have mentioned it to me recently.

With the Headspace app, the first 10 sessions are free. Definitely worth a try.
