Summary
This online article provides a brief summary of a study that evaluated a treatment program designed to reduce anxiety and improve social skills in teenagers diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Overall, the participants experienced less anxiety during social interactions by the end of treatment. However, the author notes some limitations to the study and concludes that further research is needed.
The Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment and Care Research group, based out of York University, writes summaries of research studies on autism and developmental disabilities to inform parents, individuals with autism, practitioners, and the general public on recent findings about autism.
