Facilitators and barriers in psychotherapy from the perspective of autistic adults: an enhanced critical incident study

CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this research reveal that psychotherapy with autistic adults is analogous to performing this work with non-autistic adults, in the sense that this work too entails elements of individually tailored treatment and the reliance on common therapeutic factors. There are also differences in this work that necessitate providers having foundational knowledge about autism. Learning directly from autistic adults' insights may help to improve upon the delivery of mental health care for autistic adults.PMID:37979185 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2023.2278858
