Abstract

The study aims to develop and pilot a telehealth social emotional program, MindChip™ delivered with a computer based interventions (CBI) (Mind Reading^©) for autistic adults. MindChip™ combined four theoretical perspectives and community feedback underpinning the essential mechanisms for targeting the social emotional understanding of autistic adults. A randomised pragmatic pilot trial (N = 25) was conducted to explore the feasibility of MindChip™ (n = 11) and to understand the preliminary efficacy of combining it with CBI compared to CBI only (n = 14). The use of MindChip™ and CBI combined demonstrated partial feasibility, with preliminary efficacy findings revealing increased emotion recognition generalisation outcomes compared to CBI only. Further research is required to improve the engagement and personalisation of the intervention for autistic adults.

It is acknowledged that person first and identity first terminology has been a topic of considerable debate in the autism community. We understand that these preferences can be dependent on the individual and country. Given that this project is conducted under the Cooperative Research Centre for Living with Autism (Autism CRC), identity first language (i.e. autistic adults) was identified as the preferred terminology. Hence, the term ‘autistic adults’ was used to align with the preferences of the autism community in Australia.
