Summary
This trial will examine whether the Neurodiversity at Work Program at Stanford University improves employment outcomes for adults with autism spectrum disorder.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-55 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who can travel to work on their own. They should have completed an internship, pre-employment training, or both and must have a college degree. Participants need to have an IQ within the range of 60 and above, without significant current psychosocial stressors.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of Stanford University's Neurodiversity at Work (NaW) Program compared to traditional vocational support. It aims to see if NaW helps adults with ASD maintain steady jobs and improve their quality of life.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves employment support programs rather than medical interventions, there are no direct side effects like those associated with medications or clinical treatments.
