Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice, 21(4), 331-350.http://hdl.handle.net/10315/28021DOI: 10.1111/cpsp.12084Youth with autism spectrum disorder often struggle to cope with co-occurring anxiety, depression, or anger, and having both internalizing and externalizing symptoms is a common clinical presentation. A number of authors have designed cognitive-behavioral interventions to address transdiagnostic factors related to multiple emotional problems, although none have applied this focus to youth with ASD. The current review article describes how a transdiagnostic emotion regulation framework may inform cognitive-behavioral interventions for youth with ASD, which until now have focused almost exclusively on anxiety. Research is needed to empirically test how a transdiagnostic intervention can address the processes of emotion regulation and assist youth with ASD to cope with their emotional disorders.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 CanadaAutism Spectrum DisorderCognitive Behaviour TherapyEmotion RegulationTransdiagnosticArticlehttp://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/%28ISSN%291468-2850http://ca.wiley.com/WileyCDA/http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cpsp.12084/abstract
