CBT

Alex1685

Hello, 

My daughter, who is 10, has been diagnosed this week with autism. We were expecting it and so no surprise and we now have the clarity we needed. CBT has been recommended. Can anyone share their child's experience of CBT? My daughter has high anxiety and this manifests in two areas, medical and overthinking at night leading to insomnia. My research on CBT shows it to be helpful but when I have read real people's stories on here I have found it has not been helpful. 

Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

  • I can only share my own experience of CBT, all of which happened prior to my ASD diagnosis. Unfortunately I didn't find it particularly fruitful. I've heard that CBT isn't always as effective with N/D people. There are supposed to be modified versions that are more suitable. Again I'm just speaking from my experience. Good luck.
