This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Many autistic teens and young adults know how to do everyday tasks—like showering, cooking, and managing money—but struggle to actually do them because they lack motivation. This study tests three different motivation-building programs to see which one works best. One program helps you find personal reasons to build these skills, another uses rewards and tracking, and the third combines both approaches.
Even when autistic young adults have the ability and knowledge to do daily living skills, motivation is often the missing piece that keeps them from doing these tasks independently. This trial exists to find out what kinds of motivation work best so that young autistic adults can build the skills they need to live more independently.

You would meet with a therapist for sessions focused on motivation, with an important person in your life attending to support you. Depending on which group you're assigned to, your therapist would help you either explore your personal reasons for building daily living skills, set up rewards and tracking systems for completing tasks, or use a combination of both approaches. Sessions would be recorded to help the researchers understand what works best.
