Brief Report: Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Parent-Reported Autism Symptoms
Full Title: Brief Report: Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Parent-Reported Autism Symptoms in School-Age Children with High-Functioning Autism
This pilot study tested the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on parent-reported autism symptoms. Nineteen children with autism spectrum disorders and an anxiety disorder (7-11 years old) were randomly assigned to 16 sessions of CBT or a waitlist condition. The CBT program emphasized in vivo exposure supported by parent training and school consultation to promote social communication and emotion regulation skills. Parents completed a standardized autism symptom checklist at baseline and posttreatment/postwaitlist and 3-month follow-up assessments. CBT outperformed the waitlist condition at posttreatment/postwaitlist on total parent-reported autism symptoms (Cohen's d effect size = .77). Treatment gains were maintained at 3-month follow-up. Further investigation of this intervention modality with larger samples and broader outcome measures appears to be indicated.

One way to simplistically look at this is how a person uses their brain. Some people lead their lives focused on their emotions. How does something make me feel? What does my gut feelings tell me?...
After looking at many definitions of anxiety, which are offered by a variety of medical and psychological authorities, I can't help but think that something's missing. Typically anxiety is to find as a feeling of apprehension, fear, or worry. But to fully understand what it is and how it may be affected by hypnosis a much bigger picture must be looked at first.
The fully developed adult brain has the ability to anticipate and simulate. As perceptions or imagination or match with predictive patterns it is natural to assume that something either extremely positive or extremely negative may...
When it comes to trusting another person or organization, it is all about predictability. Does the other entity conform with pre-existing patterns of expectation? If not there is a high-level of uncertainty. While we would always like our expectations be met, that is not always the case. Therefore, it is a matter of judgment whether there's a reasonable expectation of predictability or not. It is reasonable that over time a person will develop a reasonably accurate ability to judge. However, if that level of confidence never develops, it could be said that the person has a significant problem...
