Evaluation of SkillTalk for Autistic Young Adults
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a Microskills video training library for young adults, aged 18-28, with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to enhance their skills in developing and maintaining healthy relationships.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does using SkillTalk increase autistic young adults skills in the communications skills that are demonstrated in the video curriculum (skills: resolve conflict, compromise, give feedback)?
Does using SkillTalk increase reported confidence and satisfaction in communication and relationship skills?
Does using SkillTalk increase interpersonal competence?
Does using SkillTalk increase ability to cope with rejection?
Does using SkillTalk improve mental health and wellbeing?

Participants will be asked to:

Take a survey at the beginning of the study, after one month the end of the study, and at 3-month follow up
Participate in recorded video calls with projects staff, comprised of 2-3 brief roleplay scenarios of relationship skills at the beginning of the study, after one month the end of the study, and at 3-month follow up
Watch a minimum of 85% of the 60 minutes of video assigned
- EligibilityCriteria: Inclusion Criteria:  Participants must be young adults, aged 18-28, have ASD, with reciprocal communication skills and receptive language skills. Eligibility will be determined by study staff with screener questions posed to the participants about their age, ASD status (self-report based on self-determination), and comfort with the study activities.  Exclusion Criteria:  There will be no exclusionary criteria based on gender or race/ethnicity, however during recruitment and enrollment staff will try to ensure that the race/ethnicity demographics reflect those of the U.S. more generally, with a 10% oversampling for Black and Latinx participants, and the gender ratio is balanced. Interested individuals participate in a consent screening call where they are asked to answer four simple questions about the information provided in the consent form. Participants who are unable to answer these questions correctly after prompting from study staff are excluded from the study. - HealthyVolunteers: No - Gender: All - MinimumAge: 18 Years - MaximumAge: 28 Years - StdAgeList: Adult
