Anxiety in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: evidence-based assessment and treatment

This text begins with a general overview of the history of research on anxiety in ASD and the path towards evidence-based assessment and treatment methods.

Thereafter, chapters focus on the nature of ASD and anxiety comorbidity, the assessment of anxiety in ASD, and its treatment.

Later chapters are devoted to future directions for research on this topic, including a discussion of anxiety assessment and treatment for adults and minimally verbal individuals.
