Résumé :	Autistic individuals are twice as likely to meet criteria for anxiety than neurotypical children; yet we lack understanding of early presentations of anxiety in young autistic children, especially those with cognitive impairment. This study is the first to utilize an autism-specific anxiety diagnostic interview with 28 preschool cognitively impaired, autistic children and 18 neurotypical, age-matched controls. Results indicate that 64% of autistic children met criteria for DSM-specified or "other specified," herein referred to as "distinct," anxiety disorders; 32% met criteria for multiple anxiety disorders, with phobias occurring most often. Results indicate that anxiety is highly prevalent in cognitively-impaired, autistic preschool children, highlighting the need for developmentally-tailored assessment and treatment in early childhood.
