Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) may help reduce anxiety in children with high-functioning autism.
This study looked to see if CBT could help children (average age 11) with autism. The study found that CBT did reduce parent stress. It also found that CBT tended to decrease social fears and obsession-compulsion in the children. The children said that they were less anxious after the 16 CBT sessions. The authors suggest that CBT may be quite useful for children with high-functioning autism in Asian cultures.
