This study investigated how 101 U.S. parents perceived the acceptability, effectiveness, and willingness-to-use of four commonly available anxiety treatments for autistic youth: applied behavior analysis (ABA), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medications (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors; SSRIs), and alternative interventions (e.g., specialized diets, nutritional supplements). While all four treatments were perceived favorably, parents rated CBT as more acceptable, more likely to be effective, and more willing-to-use over ABA or alternative interventions. Medication was also rated as likely to be effective over alternative interventions, but not over ABA or CBT. Parent perception ratings did not significantly differ between CBT and medication. Overall, CBT and, to a slightly more limited extent, SSRI medications, may be acceptable and approachable treatment options for autistic youth with co-occurring anxiety.

Step 1 included an open trial of parent-led, therapist-guided bibliotherapy. Step 2 was family-based CBT for those who did not respond to Step 1 or maintenance for those who did. Eighteen participants (28%) who completed Step 1 responded. Responders reported significantly lower pre-treatment anxiety, internalizing symptoms, and functional impairment than non-responders. After Steps 1 and 2, 80% of completers (55% intent-to-treat) were responders. Anxiety, impairment, and ASD-related impairments significantly improved. Youth in maintenance experienced faster improvement through post-treatment, though there were no group differences at 3-month-follow-up. A stepped approach may help some individuals in Step 1, particularly those who are less anxious.
