I’ve been reading a lot about therapies and autism. I know there is strong indication that ABA, in the extremes, could be regarded as emotional mistreatment for autistic people.

I have been trying to find information about CBT applied to autistic children and adolescents, and have mostly come across neutral or positive articles and opinions. Granted, most of those are in publications that share similar views of ABA.

Is there a general consensus or impression on the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the treatment of social issues (addiction, social isolation, …) on autistic children and adolescents?

I would appreciate any insight and/or links to articles, opinions, studies, etc.

Thanks!

    Thanks for your comment. Can you expand a little, please? I will need arguments if I’m to steer this possibility away.

      first of all its not really that fun, extremely over-hyped, leaves a bad lasting sensation, and last makes it really hard to use the bathroom afterwards.
