Yeah, CBT is still the default approach, AFAIK, and perhaps for good reasons.
I wish I had the article at hand, but as I recall the problem with CBT can be that it still focuses too much on the mind and thinking as a way to solve things, which can exacerbate the ASD tendency to, well, overthink in circles and get lost in (ineffective) rumination. I think the article argued that DBT could be better in those cases (perhaps because it's even more 'mindfulness/meditation' in nature??).
But I've also heard/read that DBT is kind of the Vue.js to psychology's React.js, in that it's 'New And Improved' but not quite as well-tested.
