The current study sought to investigate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in curtailing psychological distress in a sample of those parenting children with autism. We conducted the study in Enugu state, Nigeria, with 97 parents of children with ASD. Participants were randomly allocated into CBT (N = 48) and waitlist comparison (WLC) (N = 49) groups. The CBT group participated in a 120 min CBT program weekly for 12 weeks. Data were collected using Demographic Questionnaire; Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 items (DASS-21) and Satisfaction with therapy and therapist scale- revised (STTS-R). Three data sets were collected at baseline, post-test, and follow-up. Descriptive statistics, Repeated measures Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), and t-test statistics were used to analyze the data. Raincloud plots were also used to illustrate results. Results revealed that all dimensions of psychological distress (DASS-depressive symptoms, DASS-anxiety, and DASS-stress) reduced significantly at post-CBT intervention and follow-up assessments in the CBT group, compared to the WLC. Multivariate analysis showed that the global psychological distress score was responsive to CBT intervention. We concluded that stress, anxiety, and depression among those parenting children with autism could be lessened with CBT.
