入选标准

  • Current inclusion criteria as of 15/11/2021:
  • 1. Parent/carers of children 4 -15 years with a clinical diagnosis of autism or meeting cut-off for autism on the Social Communication Questionnaire
  • 2. Parent/carers of children who speak few words or odd words only on the Wessex Questionnaire (added 20/07/2021: this is for initial screening purposes. The presence of intellectual disability will be assessed during the baseline assessment stage of the intervention)
  • 3. Parent report that child experiences anxiety on ‘more days than not’ or reports that anxiety significantly impacts their quality of life on a weekly basis
  • 4. Parents report that their child engages in avoidance or escape behaviour in response to situations that appear to be related to the child’s anxiety. A consensus decision on the functionality of behaviours will be made by the PI (Dr Jane Waite; Clinical Psychologist) and Dr Joanne Tarver.
  • 5. Parent agrees to child’s GP and psychology/behavioural/psychiatry team (if applicable) being advised of involvement in the study.
  • 6. Child currently living with consenting parent/carer full-time
  • Previous inclusion criteria:
  • 1. Parent/carers of children 4 -12 years with a clinical diagnosis of autism or meeting cut-off for autism on the Social Communication Questionnaire
  • 2. Parent/carers of children who speak few words or odd words only on the Wessex Questionnaire (added 20/07/2021: this is for initial screening purposes. The presence of intellectual disability will be assessed during the baseline assessment stage of the intervention)
  • 3. Living within 2 hours of Aston University (for pragmatic reasons it will not be feasible for the research team to travel further than this on a weekly basis)
  • 4. Parent report that child experiences anxiety on ‘more days than not’ or reports that anxiety significantly impacts their quality of life on a weekly basis
  • 5. Parents report that their child engages in avoidance or escape behaviour in response to situations that appear to be related to the child’s anxiety. A consensus decision on the functionality of behaviours will be made by the PI (Dr Jane Waite; Clinical Psychologist) and Dr Joanne Tarver.
