Private events such as thoughts and feelings occur within the individual and are inaccessible to outside observers. Creating interventions for troublesome private events, therefore, is challenging. Precision teaching has a number of studies where participants self-count targeted private events and intervene by engaging in 1-min timings of positive thoughts. The present pilot study extended the 1-min timing procedure to a 15-year-old girl with autism spectrum disorder. After the intervention, the participant's level of despondent thoughts dropped by ÷4.55 in level, with lower levels of anxiety and depression as measured by the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory.
