Randomized Controlled Trial of Mind Reading and In Vivo Rehearsal for High-Functioning Children with ASD . This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of a computer software ( i.e. , Mind Reading ) and in vivo rehearsal treatment on the emotion decoding and encoding skills , autism symptoms , and social skills of 43 children , ages 7-12 years with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder ( HFASD ) . Children in treatment ( n = 22 ) received the manualized protocol over 12 weeks . Primary analyses indicated significantly better posttest performance for the treatment group ( compared to controls ) on 3 of the 4 measures of emotion decoding and encoding and these were maintained at 5-week follow-up . Analyses of secondary measures favored the treatment group for 1 of the 2 measures ; specifically , ASD symptoms were significantly lower at posttest and follow-up .
