Summary

This study tests whether a version of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training, adapted for autistic adults, is feasible and helpful for those with emotion regulation difficulties. The program uses simplified language, more visuals, autism-relevant examples, and hands-on practice. Researchers will measure changes in emotion regulation, coping skills, and participation rates in 15 autistic adults.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training adapted for autism
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a tailored treatment option for autistic adults who struggle with emotion regulation, potentially improving their quality of life and reducing self-harm.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The adapted DBT program may not be effective or acceptable for all autistic individuals.
