 Children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders ASD are at high risk for developing significant anxiety symptoms. Cognitive behavior therapies CBT are frequently used for children with anxiety symptoms with good success. The purpose of the current study was to examine the efficacy of a family-focused group CBT program Facing Your Fears FYF compared to Treatment As Usual TAU. Participants were randomized to either active treatment or TAU. It was hypothesized that children who completed the active treatment would demonstrate improvement in their anxiety symptoms relative to children in TAU.
