Summary

This study tests three types of talk therapy to help autistic teens and young adults (ages 16-25) feel more motivated to complete daily living skills, like chores or self-care. Participants choose a goal and bring a family member or friend to support them. The goal is to see if focusing on personal values, rewards, or a mix of both works best to build lasting motivation.
