Summary

This pilot study tests a digital coaching program for autistic young adults aged 18 to 35. The program uses two conversational agents to deliver personalized goal-setting and support based on a proven model called COMPASS. Over 10 weeks, 38 participants will use the app to work on their own goals, and researchers will measure changes in mental health and goal achievement.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
self-directed goal coaching (COMPASS + Goal Attainment Scaling) delivered via a digital platform with conversational agents
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a scalable, personalized support system to improve mental health and life outcomes for autistic young adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot trial with only 38 participants and no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone.
