The purpose of this study is to help autistic adults, and their parent/caregiver learn strategies and helpful solutions for challenging behaviors. With a new intervention called RUBIA (RUBI for Autistic Adults/ Research Units in Behavioral Intervention for Autistic Adults), our goal is that this intervention will allow autistic adults and their parent/caregiver to work together to come up with strategies that will set the autistic adult up for success both in home and the community. The strategies are designed to prevent behavioral challenges, reduce frustration, and increase positive engagement in daily routines.

If you decide to participate, you will attend approximately 20 weeks of interventions. Throughout this time, you will also be asked to complete surveys and other measures at five different timepoints. These training sessions can be scheduled based on your availability and are typically done through video meetings or depending on your location, can be done in-person.

Autistic Adults (18+)
Parents/Caregivers of an autistic adult
The parent/caregiver and the autistic adult must be living together
Exhibit challenging behaviors (meltdowns or shutdowns, difficulties transitioning across activities, hurting themselves or others, etc.)
