Research Abstract

The goal of this study is the development of a program to improve the emotion regulation in high-functioning adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The program, based on the results of a previous study, was developed in 2010-2011. The program is the cognitive behavior therapy which consists of learning about the features of ASD, and learning how to know their own mind and others’ mind, and emotion regulation, using The Cognitive Affective Training (CAT) kit (Attwood, 2008). The program’s effectiveness was confirmed by a pilot study with a small group of adolescents and adults with ASD in 2012
