Summary

This study is not a treatment trial. It aims to translate and test a new assessment tool (FARAS-IT) for adults with autism who are involved in the Italian criminal justice system. Researchers will enroll 100 adults with autism, including those in forensic psychiatric care, those considered criminally responsible, and those with no criminal history. The goal is to see if the tool reliably measures autism-related vulnerabilities that may affect legal decisions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects will be included in the study who meet all of the following criteria: * age 18 years or older; * diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder formally made according to DSM-5-TR criteria or well-founded clinical suspicion of ASD, documented by specialist evaluation; * insertion in one of the contexts provided for groups A, B, or C; * capacity to provide valid informed consent, clinically assessed, or presence of guardian/administrator of substance in cases provided by current law; * sufficient language and cognitive competence to participate in the evaluation, including with autism-informed communicative adaptations. The inclusion criterion based on \*well-founded clinical suspicion\* is consistent with the study's objective of intercepting the phenomenon of ASD under-diagnosis in adulthood, particularly in forensic and correctional contexts. \- Exclusion Criteria: Subjects presenting one or more of the following conditions will be excluded from the study: * acute medical conditions or clinical instability preventing participation in the evaluation; * acute psychotic state, severe disorganization of thought, or substance intoxication not stabilized at the time of assessment (with possibility of subsequent re-evaluation); * severe intellectual disability or cognitive compromise making any structured data collection impossible, even with adaptive supports; * refusal of informed consent. Exclusion will not be based on the type of offense, in order to avoid selective bias in the sample composition.
