NCT ID NCT04737707

Summary

This study tested whether a 5-month therapy program could help autistic adults who do not have an intellectual disability. The therapy, called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), was given to 92 participants to see if it could improve their ability to manage difficult emotions and reduce self-harm or suicidal thoughts. The goal was to see if this established therapy could be successfully adapted for this specific group.
