Cognitive Enhancement Therapy for Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder: Results of an 18-Month Randomized Clinical Trial

摘要

ObjectiveCognitive remediation is a promising approach to treating core cognitive deficits in adults with autism, but rigorously controlled trials of comprehensive interventions that target both social and non-social cognition over a sufficient period of time to impact functioning are lacking. This study examined the efficacy of Cognitive Enhancement Therapy (CET) for improving core cognitive and employment outcomes in adult autism.
