Summary

This study will test a mobile app called ¡Iniciando! designed to help Latino young adults with autism and their families navigate the move to adulthood. The app includes virtual group sessions and coaching over 12 weeks. The goal is to see if the app is easy to use, acceptable, and feasible for this community. About 30 participants will be enrolled.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, culturally tailored tool to support Latino youth with autism during the transition to adulthood.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The app's effectiveness for mental health or daily living skills is not yet proven.
