Hypersensitivity to stimuli is one of main way of anxiety symptoms in people with Autism Spectrum Disorders(ASD)owing,within other factors,to deficit cognitive attribution performed on stimulating input.This research studies precisely the possible existence of relationships between the comprehensive elements of the information input and the anxiety increase in people with ASD.A total of 30 students with ASD have participated in the study,aged between 6 and 14 age years,divided into two groups,an experimental group(EG)consisting of 20 students and a control group(CG)formed by 10 other students.Study aims are to study the relationships between perception and information understanding,as well the consequent anxiety reactions in people with ASD and,finally,analyze the improvement of these data from application of a naturalistic systemic program.Results found along 3 successive measures along 12 months,performed throughout correlation analysis,ANOVA W test of 1-factor comparative measures and post-hoc analysis to age variable,allows to conclude the students who belong to EG significantly improved in aspects related to conceptual coding and in self-management of their own learning and,accordingly,they reduce anxiety level with regarding to their CG peers.
