STEPS: A Virtual Reality-based Intervention for Adults With Autism.

Sponsor: Mental Health Centre Copenhagen, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new Virtual Reality-based intervention will be effective in treating social cognitive challenges in adults with autism. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is Virtual Reality-based social cognitive training effective in reducing social cognitive deficits and improving psychosocial functioning, quality of life, and clinical symptoms in adults with ASD? 2. Is Virtual Reality-based social cognitive training cost-effective? Researchers will compare Virtual Reality-based pro-functional, Social Cognitive Training (VRSCT) to treatment as usual (TAU) to evaluate effectiveness. Participants will be allocated to receive either VRSCT once a week in addition to treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU alone for 3 months. All participants will undergo a thorough assessment at baseline, and at 3 and 6 months post-baseline.
