Facing your fears



Facing your fears: Group therapy for managing anxiety in children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders comes as a packet of three books: a facilitator's manual, a parent workbook, and a child workbook. The three together form the basis for a cognitive-behavioral group therapy approach to help reduce fears and anxieties for children on the high-functioning end of the spectrum. Research cited in the programs indicates that high anxiety can lead to "serious educational problems, later underemployment, substance abuse, and other psychiatric conditions." Learning to manage fear and anxiety as a child offers hope for a better future.
