Anxiety disorders in typically developing youth : autism spectrum symptoms as a predictor of cognitive-behavioral treatment . Symptoms of autism spectrum disorder ( ASD ) were assessed ( Social Responsiveness Scale-Parent ( SRS-P ) ; coded in-session behavior ) in typically-developing , anxiety-disordered children ( N = 50 ) treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy ( CBT ) . Study 1 : children with moderate autistic symptomology ( per SRS-P ) were significantly more likely to improve from family CBT ( FCBT ) than individual CBT ( ICBT ; OR = 8.67 ) . Coded behavior did not predict outcome . Study 2 : CBT components were compared by treatment and ASD symptom status . At-home exposure completion was greater in FCBT and there was an interaction in child involvement for treatment and ASD status . Though both treatments reduced anxiety , FCBT outperformed ICBT for children with moderate ASD symptoms , a benefit potentially linked to more at-home exposures and greater child involvement in FCBT .
