Summary

Autistic youth have extremely high levels of co-occurring mental health difficulties, including rates of depression and anxiety which are between two and four times more common compered to non-autistic people. Cognitive inflexibility is a characteristic which is strongly associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression in autism. Currently, there are no existing treatments which can promote flexible thinking. Cognitive Remediation Therapy is a promising intervention which has been used with different patient groups to improve flexibility. This study aims to develop and adapt the current CRT treatment for use with autistic youth and then conduct a pilot study with 20 participants.
