Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) spend the majority of their lives as adults, and psychosocial interventions show promise for improving outcomes in this population. This research conducted a systematic review of all peer-review studies evaluating psychosocial interventions for adults with ASD. A total of 1,217 studies were reviewed, only 13 met inclusion criteria. The majority of studies were single case studies or non-randomized controlled trials, and most focused on applied behavior analysis or social cognition training. Effects of psychosocial treatment in adults with ASD were largely positive ranging from d = 0.14-3.59, although the quantity and quality of studies is limited. There is substantial need for the rigorous development and evaluation of psychosocial treatments for adults with ASD.
自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者成年后的大部分时间都在度过，心理社会干预在改善该人群的预后方面显示出了前景。本研究对所有评估自闭症谱系障碍成人心理社会干预的同行评议研究进行了系统综述。共审查了 1217 项研究，只有 13 项符合纳入标准。大多数研究是单一案例研究或非随机对照试验，大多数研究集中在应用行为分析或社会认知训练上。自闭症谱系障碍成人心理社会治疗的效果大多是积极的，范围从 d = 0.14-3.59，尽管研究的数量和质量有限。因此，非常有必要对自闭症谱系障碍成人的心理社会治疗进行严格的开发和评估。
