Summary

This study tests a telehealth program called STRW-T that teaches daily living skills like laundry, cooking, and money management to autistic adolescents in their last two years of high school. The program involves 15 weekly group and one-on-one sessions via Zoom. Researchers will compare it to a social skills program to see which better improves independence.

What this could lead to

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial comparing two behavioral interventions, so results may not be definitive or generalizable to all autistic teens.
