what is an efficacious treatment for ASR?

CBT

ASR stands for Avoidant/Restrictive Repetitive behaviors. These are behaviors that are often seen in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). They can include repetitive behaviors such as hand flapping, rocking, or echolalia, and avoidant behaviors such as not making eye contact or avoiding social situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an efficacious treatment for ASR as it helps individuals understand and manage their behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. It is a type of psychotherapy that can help reduce the frequency and severity of these behaviors.
