Recent research has focused on positive psychological constructs, such as grit (consistency of interests and perseverance of effort) and subjective well-being (life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect). However, the understanding of grit in adults with ASD remains unclear. This study investigated the current state of and relationships between grit, engagement in activities of interest, and subjective well-being in adults with ASD and compared these findings to those of adults without ASD. Method A web-based questionnaire on grit, engagement in activities of interest, and subjective well-being was administered to 120 adults with ASD and 120 adults without ASD. Results Adults with ASD had significantly lower scores for life satisfaction, positive affect, and consistency of interests-defined as the tendency to maintain stable interests for long-term goals-but higher scores for negative affect than those without ASD. No significant differences were found in perseverance of effort or engagement in activities of interest. Consistency of interests was negatively related to negative affect. Perseverance of effort was positively associated with life satisfaction and positive affect. Finally, engagement in activities of interest was positively linked to subjective well-being; however, grit did not moderate this relationship. Conclusions This study revealed that grit and engagement in activities of interest were associated with subjective well-being. Therefore, promoting grit and engagement in activities of interest may be effective in enhancing the subjective well-being of adults with ASD.
