AI Article Synopsis

  • This pilot clinical trial aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of schema therapy (ST) for young adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HF-ASD), given the common psychological issues they face, like isolation and mistrust.
  • Following the intervention, participants showed significant reductions in early maladaptive schemas, which are harmful thought patterns, along with improvements in their quality of life and social adjustment.
  • The findings suggest that ST could be a viable therapeutic option for addressing chronic personality problems in young adults with HF-ASD.

Article Abstract

Objective: Psychological problems associated with isolation and mistrust are common among young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Schema therapy (ST) has recently been shown to be effective against chronic personality problems of various mental disorders, including personality disorders. This pilot clinical trial aimed to explore the feasibility and acceptability of ST in young adults with high-functioning ASD.

Results: Following the intervention, a significant reduction in early maladaptive schemas and improvements in quality of life and social adjustment were observed. ST may be feasible and is applicable to young adults with HF-ASD. Trial registration UMIN000014535; registered on July 11, 2014.
