Summary
This pilot study is testing a program called CRUSH, which is a sexual health curriculum designed specifically for autistic adults aged 18 to 30. The program includes group sessions and one-on-one coaching to teach about relationships and sexual health. The goal is to see if the program is practical, well-liked, and shows early signs of improving knowledge and skills. Forty participants will be followed over several months.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a structured, evidence-based sexual health program tailored for autistic adults, potentially improving their relationship knowledge and skills.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all autistic adults. It is also early-stage, focusing on feasibility rather than proven effectiveness.
