Exploring the overlap, assessment and treatment of anxiety, trauma and autism.

The ASAP lab conducts clinical and community-based research to estimate the frequency of anxiety and stress-related disorders among people on the autism spectrum with greater precision and identify risk factors. Additionally, we aim to improve clinical practices by providing guidelines and measures for determining when someone on the autism spectrum is experiencing anxiety or trauma and by effectively treating these conditions in community settings.
