One such treatment is Facing Your Fears (FYF), a group-based CBT program. This was a naturalistic outcome study that evaluated changes in anxiety and OCD symptoms among autistic youth who participated in FYF in an outpatient hospital setting. We also examined self- and parent-reported discrepancies and moderating effects of age, gender, and intervention timing (pre- vs. post-COVID-19 onset). Methods Self- and parent-reported data were collected from 48 autistic youth (ages 8–14 years) who participated in FYF between 2018 and 2024 and completed the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, 2nd Ed. (MASC 2). Results Youth and parents reported decreases in anxiety symptoms from pre- to post-intervention. Youth reported improvements across all anxiety domains, including OCD symptoms, whereas parents reported positive changes in total and separation anxiety only. Parents consistently reported higher anxiety levels than youth; however, the magnitude of symptom change did not differ between reporters. No moderating effects of gender, age, or intervention timing were observed. Conclusion Findings indicated improvements in anxiety and OCD symptoms for autistic youth following FYF, regardless of demographic and contextual factors, although parents and youth reported differences in improvement.
