In addition, research papers were found through National Institute of Health (NIH) publications.

The studies applied a combined total of 34 instruments to diagnose and evaluate the anxiety of individuals with ASD, using several sources, including the individuals themselves. Conclusions- Effective way of assessment is the cross-checking of symptoms using different instruments and several sources of information, including parents, teachers and the individuals themselves.
