KF-STRIDEĀ® for Job Interview Skills in Young Adults with Autism
This study is testing a web-based program called KF-STRIDEĀ® to see if it can help young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder improve their job interview skills.

You might be able to join if you are 14-26 years old, live in the US, speak English, and don't have certain neurological conditions or significant psychiatric illnesses. The current status of the study is unclear, but it plans to enroll 30 participants.
