- Abstract
Adolescence is a critical stage in human physical and psychological development as it transitions from infancy to maturity. One in seven adolescents is considered a mental health problem, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most common psychological disorders during this period. Communication problems and restricted repetitive behaviors (RRB) are the most common symptoms of ASD, and both can contribute to anxiety emotion. According to the clinical literature, music therapy is an effective tool for treating pre-autism, but research on music therapy to alleviate anxiety in adolescents with ASD is lacking. As a result, we investigated the possibility of music therapy in treating anxiety emotion in adolescents with ASD to give some theoretical support for its usage.
