Test a computer training program to improve autism-related thinking
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a computerized “cognitive remediation” program adapted for people with autism, using social scenarios and skills. The goal is to improve thinking and related day-to-day abilities by practicing structured tasks on a screen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an autism diagnosis confirmed by either ADI (with a parent present) or ADOS
- You can complete thinking tasks on a computer and understand the instructions
- Your testing shows learning/thinking challenges (neurocognitive impairment)
- Your child can attend a regular (non-specialized) school, or you are in the adult group
- If you take certain psychiatric medicines, your plan must be stable for at least 1 month

This study tests whether immersive virtual reality (VR) training can improve how children with autism process different sensory information (like sights and sounds). It will compare children who do the VR training with another group as part of a pilot study at a child psychiatry center.
This study tests a “reward system” approach in the brain for adults with autism (and also for adults with food addiction and for healthy volunteers). It may help researchers understand brain and behavior differences and whether this kind of task-based training is safe and useful.
This study tests a computer-based training program designed to help children with autism improve their thinking and learning skills. It may help children become better at planning, focusing, and understanding their own thoughts.
This study tests a digital therapy app (called NDTx-02) designed to improve thinking skills like focus and planning in children with ADHD or autism. Your child would use the app on a tablet for 6 weeks while continuing their regular care.
This trial tests whether virtual reality can help improve thinking skills in people with autism. It may provide a new, engaging way to support cognitive development.
This trial tests whether mild brain stimulation (TMS) over the temporoparietal junction can improve a social thinking skill called 'mentalizing' in adults with autism. You would have MRI scans, cognitive tasks, and several TMS sessions.
