This makes it difficult to judge the true level and nature of anxiety in people on the autism spectrum. There is very strong research evidence to suggest that cognitive behavioural therapy may be effective in reducing anxiety in some children and young people on the autism

Overall, 32 papers were included in the review. The included papers are summarised in Table 2. Of the 32 papers, 12 (37.5%) were from the same research group (Gadow et al. 2005, 2008a, b, 2009a, b, 2010, 2016; Guttmann-Steinmetz et al. 2010; Kaat et al. 2013; Lerner et al. 2017; Roohi et al. 2009; Weisbrot et al. 2005) with participants recruited t...
The research was conducted in seven countries, with the majority being conducted in the USA (62.5%; more than half of which were from the same research group), Singapore (12.5%) and the UK (9.4%). The most common disciplines of the lead author were psychiatry (42.4%) and psychology (33.3%), with only four (12.5%) studies describing school anxiety i...
Sample sizes ranged from 14 to 301 for descriptive and from 6 to 89 for intervention studies. The sample sizes were largest for the population-based study (N = 277, Chandler et al. 2016) and many of the clinic studies (e.g. N = 221 Gadow et al. 2016; N = 115 Kaat et al. 2013). Studies recruiting through schools tended to have sample sizes of 60 or ...
Twenty-nine (90.6%) of the 32 studies reported parent data and eight (25%) included a self-report measure of anxiety for the child with autism. Unsurprisingly, given that this review focusses upon anxiety in the school context, 30 studies (93.8%) reported on an anxiety measure completed by teachers. The two studies that did not report upon teacher ...
Eight different measures were used to document teacher-reported anxiety within the school setting. All but one of the studies (97%) used an anxiety subscale within a broader measure of emotional/behavioural characteristics. Measures used were the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA; Achenbach 2009), Behaviour Assessment System f...
Four studies (Ashburner et al. 2010; Hass et al. 2012; Poon 2012; Rance et al. 2017) only reported teacher data. Three of these studies compared teacher ratings for autism with either typically developing children or children with multiple disabilities. Ashburner et al. (2010) reported significantly higher scores for children with autism on the CCB...
Table 3 summarises the 19 studies where data were collected and mean scores reported on comparable measures of anxiety across multiple respondents, for example, where both the ASEBA parent and teacher forms were used. Twelve of these studies had the same number of respondents in each respondent group (e.g. 14 parents, 14 teachers and 14 self-report...
