This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing two different group-based programs for middle school students with autism. One program, called AIMS, teaches students and parents strategies to improve organization, planning, and study skills. The other program, called BESST, teaches social skills like starting conversations and making friends. Researchers want to see which approach works best for helping teens with autism succeed in school and with peers.
Many middle school students with autism struggle with either organizing schoolwork and managing materials, or with social interactions with peers. This trial exists to find out whether teaching these skills in a group setting can help teens with autism become more independent and confident at school and in social situations.

If you join this study, you and your parent or guardian will be randomly assigned to attend either the AIMS program (focused on school organization and planning) or the BESST program (focused on social skills). You'll attend group sessions where a therapist will teach strategies, practice them with you, and give you assignments to practice at home with your family. The study involves commitment to attend sessions regularly, complete homework assignments, and work on specific goals with your parent's support.
