Interview skills for adults with autism spectrum disorder : a pilot randomized controlled trial . The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the efficacy of the interview skills curriculum ( ISC ) , a manualized 12-week group-delivered intervention for young adults with autism spectrum disorder ( ASD ) . This intervention aims to increase social-pragmatic skills essential to a successful job interview . Twenty-eight adults ( 18-36 years ) were randomly assigned to one of two groups : ISC or waitlist control . Results revealed that the experimental group showed larger gains in social-pragmatic skills observed during a mock job interview than the control group . Treatment effects on distal outcomes , including social adaptive behaviors and depressive symptoms were not significant , although the respective effect sizes were medium/large . Results indicate that a brief , low-intensity treatment can improve the job-interview performance of young adults with ASD .
