Virtual reality job interview training in adults with autism spectrum disorder . The feasibility and efficacy of virtual reality job interview training ( VR-JIT ) was assessed in a single-blinded randomized controlled trial . Adults with autism spectrum disorder were randomized to VR-JIT ( n = 16 ) or treatment-as-usual ( TAU ) ( n = 10 ) groups . VR-JIT consisted of simulated job interviews with a virtual character and didactic training . Participants attended 90 % of laboratory-based training sessions , found VR-JIT easy to use and enjoyable , and they felt prepared for future interviews . VR-JIT participants had greater improvement during live standardized job interview role-play performances than TAU participants ( p = 0.046 ) . A similar pattern was observed for self-reported self-confidence at a trend level ( p = 0.060 ) . VR-JIT simulation performance scores increased over time ( R ( 2 ) = 0.83 ) . Results indicate preliminary support for the feasibility and efficacy of VR-JIT , which can be administered using computer software or via the internet .
