TUNE In is a 13 week program helping autistic adults interact with other people with greater ease, understanding, and authenticity. 

Who is eligible?

You may be eligible to participate in this study if you are:

  • Aged 18 years or older
  • Have a diagnosis of ASD from a psychologist, psychiatrist, neurologist, developmental pediatrician, or other mental health/medical professional
  • Do not have a history of intellectual disability
  • Can attend weekly sessions for this 13-week program.

What will I be asked to do?

You will be asked to participate in interviews and fill out questionnaires to assess autism symptoms, social understanding, and social skills. If you are found to be eligible for the study, you will be randomly selected to participate in a seasonal session of TUNE In. 

TUNE In sessions will occur in person or online via teleconferencing software, depending on your preferences. The whole study, from applying to participating in the group to filling out the final questionnaires, will last approximately 9 months.
