Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I tried to find an appropriate approache to regulate the function of "reading own feelings" in the adolescents and adults with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders. I firstly tried to apply group-based consultation with those people unsuccessfully.　Then,I finally　conducted case-based approaches to support their weakness concerning their self derstanding of feelings，by applying the sessions of "Developmental guidance" and "Counselling". This research will have implications for reforming 　the approach to the dysfunction of feelings in Autism Spectrum Disorders.
