Summary

This trial tests whether a structured social skills program, called PEERS, can help adults with autism improve their social interactions and relationships. Participants aged 18 to 45 with relational difficulties and a caregiver's support will either join the program or be in a comparison group. The study measures changes in social skills and overall functioning to see if the program makes a meaningful difference.
