TURNER-BROWN, Auteur ; Timothy D. PERRY, Auteur ; Gabriel S. DICHTER, Auteur ; David L. PENN, Auteur ; James W. BODFISH, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.1777-1784 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social-cognition Adults Group-intervention High-functioning-autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and utility of a group-based cognitive behavioral intervention to improve social-cognitive functioning in adults with high-functioning autism (HFA). We modified the treatment manual of a previously validated intervention, Social Cognition and Interaction Training (SCIT), for optimal use with HFA adults (SCIT-A). We then conducted a pilot study to compare SCIT-A (n = 6) to treatment as usual (TAU) (n = 5) for adults with HFA. Feasibility was supported; attendance was high (92%) and satisfaction reports were primarily positive. Participants in SCIT-A showed significant improvement in theory-of-mind skills and trend level improvements in social communication skills; TAU participants did not show these improvements. Findings indicate SCIT-A shows promise as an intervention for adults with HFA.
