Summary

This trial tests whether a program called MyRAKAN Autism, which combines video modeling with virtual reality, can help autistic young adults improve their social communication skills. Participants attend eight sessions over five weeks, practicing skills like eye contact, conversation, and reading social cues. The study compares those who receive the program immediately with a group that waits, measuring changes in social responsiveness, anxiety, and quality of life.
