In what ways might the characteristics of Williams syndrome (WS) predispose those with the condition toward anxiety problems?
What will be an ideal response?
“Dykens and Hodapp (2001) have suggested that the characteristic features of WS may place them at increased risk for developing anxiety problems. For example, their hyperacusis may make them especially sensitive to developing fears of loud noises. Early problems with balance and gait might contribute to fears of falling from high places. Their social sensitivity may place them at increased risk for social anxiety. Consequently, the fears of children with WS may stem from the interaction of genotype, early experiences, and the behavioral characteristics of WS.”
