Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Through CBT, individuals with ASD, along with their therapists and/or parents, can work together to set specific goals for therapy.
Throughout the sessions, the individual with autism learns to identify and change thoughts that lead to problem feelings or behaviours. This can help in addressing symptoms such as anxiety and depression that individuals with ASD may experience. Additionally, CBT can help individuals with ASD develop coping strategies for managing social challenges and developing adaptive behaviours.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy sessions are adapted for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is a focus on teaching cognitive and behavioural skills, along with strategies that help individuals move closer to their goals and help manage mental health concerns.
CBT aims to help individuals challenge beliefs not serving them and replace them with more adaptive and positive thinking.
