Description

This study examined the relationship between self-awareness of autism symptoms and depression among young adults with ASD from a sample presenting for an evidence-based social skills intervention (PEERS). Results suggest that young adults with ASD who reported greater awareness of their deficits demonstrated greater levels of depression.
