Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is indicated as an important transdiagnostic process variable in a range of anxiety disorders. Anxiety is very common in autistic adults. This study evaluates a manualised treatment programme for autistic adults, which focused on IU. An eight session programme (CUES-A©) was developed and delivered to four autistic adults on an individual basis. A single case experimental design was used to provide a preliminary evaluation of the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of the programme. Data regarding retention, acceptability and feasibility indicate that the participants valued the programme. Analyses of outcome measures indicate that the programme has promise as a treatment option for autistic adults experiencing IU.
不确定性容忍度（IU）在一系列焦虑障碍中被认为是一个重要的跨诊断过程变量。焦虑在自闭症成年人中很常见。本研究评估了一个针对自闭症成年人的、以 IU 为重点的标准化治疗方案。开发并向四名自闭症成年人提供了一个八节课程的方案（CUES-A©）。采用单一案例实验设计，初步评估方案的可行性、可接受性和初步效果。关于保留率、可接受性和可行性的数据表明，参与者重视该方案。结果测量的分析表明，该方案有望成为患有 IU 的自闭症成年人的一种治疗选择。
