Abstract

Nowadays, many people suffer from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To be specific, ASD has significant negative impact on their social relationships, mental and physical health, and daily functioning. Individuals with ASD often have difficulty in communicating with others. They also are highly intolerant of unpredictable situations, so it is important to learn about their attitudes towards those unexpected situations. The lack of flexibility and tolerance in these situations make them more vulnerable to mental health problems, especially for ASD children. To better understand the relationship between Intolerance Uncertainty (IU) and ASD, some previous studies are taken into the consideration, which are related to IU, ASD, anxiety, and treatments. The important factor is to measure it in terms of subjective perception and objective perception of others in multidimensional dimensions, in order to get more precise data. Based on some questionnaires and interviews, this review focuses on the relationship between IU and ASD, from mainly three perspectives. First, how IU is related to the anxiety symptoms, as well as other symptoms of ASD. Second, the effect of IU on other treatments was analyzed, and this paper focuses on the treatment of modified cognitive-behavioral therapy (MCBT). Third, the effectiveness of training IU as an intervention for individuals with ASD. There are a few intervention studies regarding IU training in ASD. Future research should conduct more longitudinal intervention studies in this area. This review can provide some guidance to the development of effective IU interventions for individuals with ASD.
