Christner ISBN 0-415-95039- 2 See Chapter 14 - Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorders, pgs. 255-269. "It has been shown that children with high functioning autism (HFA) experience clinically significant levels of anxiety more frequently than typically developing children. Prevalence rates of anxiety disorders in children with HFA range from 47 to 84.1%, whereas prevalence rates in typically developing children range from 1.5 to 13%. Difficulties related to anxiety in children with HFA can impair academic and social functioning in children and cause significant distress for families."
