“…For example, while suggestions exist for adapting anxiety therapies for typically developing children to those with ASD (usually cognitive-behavioral therapy [CBT]; e.g., Moree & Davis, 2010; Rudy & Davis, 2012), such adaptations, though likely, may not always be necessary for success, especially among higher-functioning individuals (e.g., Davis, Kurtz, Gardner, & Carman, 2007). Research on the application/modification of CBT for anxiety for those with ASD, however, has been encouraging (e.g., Chalfant, Rapee, & Carroll, 2006; Davis et al, 2007; Reaven & Hepburn, 2003; Sofronoff, Attwood, & Hinton, 2005).…”

In this commentary, I provide additional areas of focus in moving forward with understanding and helping those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and anxiety. Many of these issues have been experienced by those in the child anxiety realm as well, and so insights and findings from that field seem pertinent. Although there are many topics relevant to the study of anxiety in those with ASD, I briefly highlight several that are particularly pressing, including the downward and lateral extensions of anxiety findings from the typically developing literature, the use of multiple informants in assessment, the consideration of age and intellectual functioning in development and diagnosis, and the potential impact from the proposed revisions in DSM-5.
