Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a Microskills video training library for young adults, aged 18-28, with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to enhance their skills in developing and maintaining healthy relationships.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does using SkillTalk increase autistic young adults skills in the communications skills that are demonstrated in the video curriculum (skills: resolve conflict, compromise, give feedback)?
* Does using SkillTalk increase reported confidence and satisfaction in communication and relationship skills?
* Does using SkillTalk increase interpersonal competence?
* Does using SkillTalk increase ability to cope with rejection?
* Does using SkillTalk improve mental health and wellbeing?

Participants will be asked to:

* Take a survey at the beginning of the study, after one month the end of the study, and at 3-month follow up
* Participate in recorded video calls with projects staff, comprised of 2-3 brief roleplay scenarios of relationship skills at the beginning of the study, after one month the end of the study, and at 3-month follow up
* Watch a minimum of 85% of the 60 minutes of video assigned
