Such anxiety treatments are effective for this population; however, there remains a gap between these evidence-based mental health interventions and their implementation in community mental health (CMH) services where autistic youth receive care. Method This qualitative study conducted semi-structured interviews with four types of community members in the United States: 15 autistic youth with anxiety, 15 caregivers of autistic youth with anxiety, 11 CMH clinicians, and 8 CMH clinic leaders. Participants identified the training needs of CMH clinicians to support the delivery of CBT for autistic youth with anxiety. Results Through inductive thematic analysis, three themes were found: presentation of autism and anxiety, intervention delivery, and training format. Participants highlighted the need for clinician education to understand the varying presentations of autism and co-occurring anxiety and how to effectively deliver a personalized mental health intervention for autistic youth. Clinicians also desired a clinician training program that includes engaging components and offers individualized, ongoing support while the intervention is delivered. Conclusions Findings from this study will inform the development of a clinician training program to deliver CBT modified for autistic youth with anxiety in CMH contexts.

“He Just Wants Someone to Hear Him and Listen to Him”: Barriers and Facilitators to Autistic Youth with Anxiety Receiving Quality Mental Healthcare / Daylin DELGADO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-2 (February 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-2 (February 2026) . - p.655-670 Titre : “He Just Wants Someone to Hear Him and Listen to Him”: Barriers and Facilitators to Autistic Youth with Anxiety Receiving Quality Mental Healthcare Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daylin DELGADO, Auteur ; Shannon C.

MADDOX, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.655-670 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : About half of autistic youth present with clinically interfering anxiety. Psychotherapies with exposure-focused elements are effective in academic clinical settings and controlled trials. However, there is relatively less research examining the implementation of modified interventions for autistic youth with anxiety in community mental health settings. The current study explores community members’ perceptions of barriers and facilitators that impact autistic youth with anxiety’s receipt of quality mental health services in their community. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 autistic youth, 15 caregivers of autistic youth, 11 community mental health clinicians, and 8 community mental health clinic leaders. Interviews were analyzed thematically. Participants shared their experiences with facilitators and barriers to autistic youth with anxiety receiving quality mental healthcare. Themes that emerged include (1) characteristics of the autistic youth, (2) engagement of autistic youth and caregivers, (3) building rapport between providers, autistic youth, and caregivers, (4) access to mental health services, (5) intervention fit, and (6) provider characteristics. Based on participants’ perspectives and suggestions, future directions for anxiety treatment programs tailored for autistic youth include building more time into the intervention sessions to build rapport, incorporating autistic youth’s preferences into provider matches, and providing families with more psychoeducation.
