Anxiety and Autism

In this webinar, Dr. Antonio Hardan discusses recent research into anxiety and autism. He also discusses ways that children and adults with autism can manage anxiety. We simply don’t know enough about autism. To help change that, we invite the entire autism community to join a landmark national autism research initiative called SPARK.

I have a huge problem with something he said. He said for low functioning individuals, try to find the source of the anxiety to change it but for high functioning individuals, put them in CBT. That's crazy

It is crazy. Also cruel, heartless, and shows severe lack of empathy.

@@raven4090 I agree with you.

so, what you two propose is that we put low functioning (cognitively impared) people on CBT? how about asking a wheelchair-bound person to jump? seems crazy, right?
