Abstract

Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at high risk for anxiety difficulties and disorders. Clinic-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective; however, few published school-based CBT programs for youth with ASD exist. In this study, the Facing Your Fears CBT protocol was adapted for delivery and piloted within a school setting by non-clinicians, with culturally appropriate adaptations. 44 13–15 aged youth with ASD from 22 mainstream schools in Singapore participated. Feasibility, acceptability and preliminary treatment outcomes were examined. Decreases in youth and parent reported anxiety symptoms were reported. Staff and parents found the program useful. Stakeholder support was important for implementation. Initial findings reflect the importance of carefully bridging research-to-practice for youth with ASD and anxiety.

In Singapore, diagnoses are mostly made during preschool years at government subsided public hospitals, or by school psychologists (for school-aged students). Diagnoses are made using the ADOS and ADI, consistent with Clinical Practice Guidelines on ASD published by Singapore’s Academy of Medicine and Ministry of Health in 2010 https://​www.​moh.​gov.​sg/​content/​dam/​moh_​web/​HPP/​Doctors/​cpg_​medical/​current/​2010/​ASD%20​book%20​Apr%20​10.​pdf.
