Summary

The current study seeks to develop the first daily living skills (DLS) intervention package for high functioning adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and evaluate its effectiveness. The investigators hope to further refine the Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW) intervention by conducting an ORBIT (Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trial) Phase 2b feasibility Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT). This randomized clinical trial will test the preliminary effectiveness of STRW in 56 adolescents (14-21 years) with high functioning ASD as compared to a robust evidence-based social skills intervention (Program for the Evaluation and Enrichment of Relational Skills - PEERS). The current proposal represents a critical step toward improving the adult outcome of individuals with autism.
