Description
This study examined the relationship between social anxiety and bullying behaviors in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presenting for social skills treatment through the UCLA PEERS® Clinic. Results suggest that parents reporting higher social anxiety in their adolescents also report higher instances of bullying others. Additionally, results reveal that parents who report higher fear of negative evaluation by peers in their adolescents also report higher instances of bullying others.Back to Session: Poster Symposium: Making It Real: What Research Tells Us About Social Inclusion
