Drawing on an 'Indirectly-Confrontational' approach, this book explores the social-emotional self protection response of Exposure Anxiety and the strategies to work with these. Exposure Anxiety is the Invisible Cage, an involuntary response that challenges the person to either side with it and identify self with their own avoidance, diversion and retaliation responses or live with the frustration and despair of being aware of self but buried alive.

Published in 2003, this is the first ever text book by a person diagnosed with autism specifically focusing on co-morbid anxiety and impulse control disorders effecting those on the autistic spectrum and offering an innovative new approach to working with some of the most challenged people on the autistic spectrum.
