Testing a cognitive behavioural therapy program for anxiety in autistic adolescents: a feasibility study

CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the adaptation of the program 'Cool Kids - ASA' into an adolescent version is feasible and has the potential to show good effects thus enhancing the possibility of education, development and independence in future life for this group. Larger RCTs studies are, however, needed to examine the efficacy of the adolescent version.PMID:38690784 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2338206
