What is the study about?
This study is developing a measure to assess emotion management in autistic teens, autistic adults, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We developed this measure in partnership with autistic adults and teens.
This study is important because there are no existing measures of emotion regulation for autistic teens and adults. Without measures, researchers and clinicians survey parents and caregivers instead of the autistic person. This also limits services and intervention research because we are not able to measure benefits to emotion dysregulation.
This study will result in the first self-report measure of emotion dysregulation in autism. Our measure will also have clinical cut-off scores for screening and will be appropriate to use across clinical populations.
