This study is testing a group program called SDARI-YA for autistic young adults aged 18 to 30. SDARI-YA uses drama-based activities to help participants improve their social connections and relationships. The study wants to see if SDARI-YA can be used successfully and if it helps people feel more connected, supported, and mentally well. You would be assigned to either the SDARI-YA group or another group with different structured activities. Researchers will compare the two groups to see if SDARI-YA leads to better social outcomes. To join, you need to have graduated high school, be between 18-30, and meet certain scores on specific assessments (RAADS, KBIT-2R, ADOS-2 Module 4). The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 54 participants.
