Understanding Catastrophizing and Its Impact
Catastrophizing involves viewing a situation as much worse than it is, spiraling negative thoughts into a disaster. Ambiguity and uncertainty can trigger catastrophizing, leading to fear and anxiety. Autistic individuals can distinguish between catastrophizing and preparation by emotions like frustration and negative thoughts.
