Dr. Azadeh Kushki, an engineer in the Autism Research Centre at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, develops technologies to understand autism and lead to novel treatments.

CTV Toronto's Pauline Chan interviewed Dr. Kushki about the link between autism and anxiety on Autism Awareness Day, April 2, 2014.

Featured is one of Dr. Kushki's projects, the Anxiety Meter, which aims to help children with autism recognize their own anxiety levels and manage symptoms.

Autism Research Centre client Weston Bradbury and his mother Sue Bradbury also joined Pauline Chan to discuss the impact of anxiety on Weston's life.

Weston participated in an anxiety management program called Face your Fears, funded by a $1 million donation from RBC Royal Bank.
