“…A likely reason why individuals with ASD have historically been excluded from large‐scale clinical trials, and why increasing focus is being placed on the examination of protocols specialized for ASD‐anxiety comorbidity is because individuals with ASD have unique informational processing styles, resulting in anxiety with complex etiology and unique experiences for the client (Cashin, ; Cashin & Yorke, ; McGuinty, Armstrong, Nelson, & Sheeler, ; Trembath, Germano, Johanson, & Dissanayake, ). Several theories have been proposed to account for the cognitive abilities of individuals with ASD.…”

Topic: The Brief Services psychotherapy paradigm has evolved to produce costeffective and clinically significant outcomes in children's mental health. Though its clinical evaluation is still in its infancy, it has been utilized to a much lesser degree with autism spectrum disorders, which typically require a longer-term approach to psychotherapy treatment.Purpose: The current paper introduces a novel, four-session intervention that aims to decrease anxiety experienced by clients presenting with high-functioning autism. Externalizing Metaphors Therapy is based upon the externalization of problems, transformation of metaphoric imagery, shifting of maladaptive emotional schemas, and the generalization of problems. A case study is utilized to visually aid in the understanding of this new treatment intervention. Source: A composite literature review was conducted with regards to significant works in Narrative Therapy, treatment interventions for anxiety and high functioning autism, evidence-based treatments for anxiety, and practice based approaches in psychotherapy. Works were selected based on their relevance to the research filed of anxiety and autism. Conclusions: This clinical research challenges the children's mental health field in addressing anxiety and high-functioning autism from a brief framework. Further clinical research is needed to clinically evaluate the current model.

A scoping review of articles published from 2000 to 2017 was conducted with the aim to identify what had been discussed and researched related to the transition from completion of university to employment for students with ASD. The review also included identification of published data on the type of degrees studied by university students with ASD. A paucity of discussion and no specific research was identified related to the aims of the review.

Restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are central to the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet there remains a paucity of research in this domain. What is clear is that people with ASD are vulnerable to getting locked into rigid patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to a lack of adaptation. This study utilized an online survey to explore the relationship between anxiety, external structure, the measurement of RRBs and behavioral history of being locked into RRBs. A significant relationship was identified between level of anxiety and a history of becoming locked into RRBs. The likelihood of becoming locked into RRBs increased at times of decreased external structure in the routine of people with ASD.
