Communicative Behaviors in an Internet-Based Intervention for Individuals With Autism: Mixed Methods Analysis
Overview
This mixed-methods study analyzes text-based communications from 34 participants in an 18-week internet-based CBT program for autism to identify behavioral patterns and their relation to outcomes. The authors categorize messages into domains of identity, treatment engagement, and struggle, finding associations between specific communicative behaviors and improvements in quality of life or adherence. The resource is intended for clinicians and researchers seeking to understand how client communication styles may inform support strategies and expectations in digital autism interventions.
