Description

This study examined the influence of familial loneliness on social anxiety, particularly fear of negative evaluation, among young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other social challenges. Understanding the connection between feelings of familial isolation and social anxiety will inform clinicians and researchers about the importance of broadening the scope of social skills interventions to include additional domains, such as improving family relationships.
