He highlights the excessive healthcare costs associated with autism in adulthood <\/span><b>(6:23)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and emphasizes that, despite such large expenditures, autistic individuals have a lower life expectancy on average than their non-autistic peers <\/span><b>(7:16)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The presenter uses the &#8220;Autism Cliff&#8221; illustration <\/span><b>(8:35)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to demonstrate the abrupt end of guaranteed schooling and services after ages 18 &#8211; 21. He notes that from 1965 to 2018, only 14 articles were published on effective interventions for autistic adults <\/span><b>(11:26)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While more data on adolescents with autism are available, most studies are based on single participants and cannot lend any general insights <\/span><b>(12:26)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Given this blatant lack of research and need for change, Eack discusses cognitive enhancement therapy (CET) and its potential use with autistic adults.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how the brain communicates with itself and, consequently, how it integrates and processes complex information <\/span><b>(14:27)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Challenges associated with cognitive impairment include processing speed, verbal learning, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and emotion management and perception <\/span><b>(17:00)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The speaker asserts that downstream behavioral and social effects of such cognitive difficulties can have a significant and lasting impact on relationships, employment, and life expectancy <\/span><b>(15:49)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Eack discusses various adulthood conditions related to cognitive challenges and outlines the success of cognitive remediation in treating multiple disorders <\/span><b>(17:48)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Based on such achievements, Eack and his team examined the feasibility and effectiveness of CET in autistic adults <\/span><b>(20:10)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speaker asserts that by the time an individual with autism reaches adulthood, a prolonged intervention that includes sustained support will most likely produce meaningful changes and construct a good quality of life <\/span><b>(22:31)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He defines CET as a recovery-phase intervention for remediating neurocognitive and social-cognitive deficits <\/span><b>(20:50)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. CET generally takes 18 months to complete and contains two components:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neurocognitive training <\/span><\/i><b><i>(23:01)<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Sequentially targets lower- to higher-order cognitive domains. The training is socially designed and assists in developing basic and generalized problem-solving strategies for daily use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social-cognitive group therapy <\/span><\/i><b><i>(26:32)<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Coaches (not therapists) help individuals solve problems and build skills for themselves. Training is done in small groups (6-8 members) to encourage social abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eack explains how CET robustly improved cognitive domains beyond other supports and treatments in individuals with schizophrenia <\/span><b>(28:10)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He stresses the positive trickle-down effects of social and personal behavior, noting the neural and social-cognitive similarities between autism and schizophrenia <\/span><b>(29:55)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A recent pilot study found that, when appropriately adapted to the autistic population, individuals were satisfied with participation and outcomes of an 18-month CET program <\/span><b>(31:10)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The speaker describes a preliminary study on the efficacy of CET in autistic adults, which revealed that it is possible to address social-cognitive difficulties in this population. Further, results showed significant downstream effects on social adjustments and ability to function within the community <\/span><b>(33:28)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The presenter outlines inclusion criteria, study methods, and parameters for the first clinical trial of CET in adults with autism. Fifty-four participants were randomized into either a CET or enriched supportive therapy (EST) comparison and treated for 18 months <\/span><b>(34:52)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. All individuals showed marked improvements in neuro- and social cognition, and CET had greater effect in both domains. The effect of CET was significantly more than that of EST on neurocognition but not on social cognition <\/span><b>(38:16)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The speaker states that results also showed that CET had the most advantageous effect on employment adjustment and the number of individuals employed <\/span><b>(41:43)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Therefore, he asserts that &#8220;treatments focusing on cognitive impairments may, in fact, have significant and very large downstream effects on employment and other important domains of adult functioning.&#8221; <\/span><b>(42:05)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eack summarizes the presentation and clinical results, noting the promising potential of CET in improved cognition and downstream functionality <\/span><b>(43:05)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He discusses preliminary MRI data, which suggests that as these changes occur, corresponding neuroplastic changes also occur <\/span><b>(44:10)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The speaker asserts his belief that CET is a new therapeutic avenue for supporting adaptive functioning for adults living with autism. He also notes the effectiveness of EST and posits that the benefits of individual support for education and emotion management may, themselves, confer massive benefits to adults living with this condition <\/span><b>(45:00)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Eack provides details for the second clinical trial <\/span><b>(44:53) <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before opening the question and answer session <\/span><b>(46:45)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 4% + 4% ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"jump\" class=\"fusion-container-anchor\"><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1315.6px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p><strong>Published: 11\/07\/2018<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-full wp-image-3288\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27100%27%20height%3D%2798%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20100%2098%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27100%27%20height%3D%2798%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/autism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Shaun-Eack-Ph.D.jpg\" alt=\"Shaun Eack, Ph.D\" width=\"100\" height=\"98\" \/>David E. Epperson Professor Shaun M. Eack earned his Ph.D. in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. Eack&#8217;s primary interests include the development, implementation, and evaluation of psychosocial treatment methodologies to improve the care of people with schizophrenia and related disorders. He is also interested in the biopsychosocial factors that contribute to recovery and psychosocial outcomes among people with schizophrenia and related disorders, and how the elucidation of these factors can serve to aid novel treatment development efforts. In addition, Dr. Eack holds a broad interest in social work education and workforce development as they relate to the provision of care for persons with schizophrenia and other severe mental
