Sponsor's own description
This project evaluates mindfulness based stress-reduction (MBSR), adjusted and manualized for intellectually able autistic adults. MBSR is a skills training program based on further development of cognitive behavioral therapy. The program includes eight weekly group training sessions and one full-day retreat, aiming at stress reduction and improved coping in everyday life, as well as improved mental health. The aspiration is to make ASD-adjusted MBSR an intervention that is acceptable and accessible to individuals with autism in open clinical care. This includes considering variability in background factors such as age, comorbidity and other personal qualities and preferences. The aim of the studies is to evaluate (1) the feasibility and (2) effectiveness of MBSR in adults (18 or over) with autism without intellectual disability, in an outpatient clinical habilitation context.
