Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This qualitative study examines the lived experiences of 27 autistic adults who completed a modified group cognitive-behavioural therapy program for social anxiety. Through semi-structured interviews, participants evaluated the perceived effectiveness of specific CBT components, such as exposure tasks and cognitive restructuring, while also suggesting modifications to improve future iterations. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in understanding client perspectives on adapting evidence-based treatments for autistic populations.
