自闭症谱系障碍(asd)是最常见的儿童神经发育综合症。领域的一个基本目标是发现的方法,减轻核心自闭症症状,由于低水平的症状与更好的预后有关。核心症状趋向稳定和抗干预。虽然社交技能治疗自闭症学龄青少年很常见,目前的证据基础弱,有限的外部效度和耐久性的影响。认知行为治疗(CBT)提供了一种新方法解决核心学龄青少年在高功能自闭症的症状。在本研究小组先前的研究工作,CBT已经成功适应治疗自闭症学龄儿童的情绪问题。初步结果表明,认知行为疗法也可以承诺减少核心自闭症的症状。五十个高功能自闭症儿童(7 - 11岁)将被随机分配到32会话的CBT或一个关注安慰剂条件(社会技能培训,标准的护理在社区)。一个独立的评估者将电池管理标准化的评估,包括绩效评估(例如,后者)和校本自闭症儿童行为观察的核心症状预处理、后处理,3个月随访。治疗是基于当代记忆检索模式竞争,用人策略提高适应性的保留和制定概念和行为反应在日常社会环境(如学校、家庭),强调使用的深层语义处理来增强记忆检索。 Quality assurance will be established via reliability checks and treatment fidelity monitoring. It is anticipated that children who receive this experimental CBT therapy will exhibit more improvement in core autism symptoms in school and home settings when compared to children who receive the social skills training intervention. This study would result in a novel, empirically based intervention for the treatment of core autism symptoms. Given the increasing prevalence of autism and the lack of effective treatment models in this age-group, positive findings from this study could have broad public health significance.
