Summary

This study tests a family-centered program called Transitioning Together / Juntos en la Transición, designed to help autistic youth (ages 14-21) and their parents navigate the move to adulthood. The program includes one individual family session and four group sessions covering topics like independence, employment, and legal issues. Researchers will measure changes in quality of life, goal achievement, and problem behaviors in 48 families at a safety net hospital.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Family-centered psychoeducation program (Transitioning Together / Juntos en la Transicion)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could provide a practical, supportive approach to help autistic youth and their families manage the challenges of transitioning to adulthood, improving quality of life and reducing problem behaviors.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to all families. The intervention is behavioral, not medical, so it won't change the core traits of autism.
