Parents ' state and trait anxiety : relationships with anxiety severity and treatment response in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders . Comorbid anxiety is common among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder ( ASD ) , and parents of children with ASD are more likely to have anxiety disorders . This study investigated the relationship between parents ' state and trait anxiety and parent-reported internalizing and externalizing symptoms among adolescents ( n = 30 ) with ASD , as well as the relationship of parents ' anxiety symptoms and adolescent treatment response in the context of a randomized controlled trial . Parental state anxiety correlated with severity of adolescent anxiety , and trait anxiety in parents correlated with parent-reported adolescent internalizing and externalizing symptoms . Also , parents of adolescent treatment responders experienced a decrease in their own trait anxiety . Findings highlight the importance of considering parental anxiety when targeting anxiety among youth with ASD .
