ACT and Asperger's

Printer-friendly versionSend by email

I am currently looking for resources relating to the use of ACT with Asperger's, or for contact with any individuals who may be using ACT in this area. The experiential avoidance, fusion, rumination and rampant rule following pieces are clearly there, but I am still not sure ACT is a good fit. The literature seems to be somewhat sparse, and as far as I can tell, there are no EST's for Asperger's. Is anyone aware of any research in this area? I am thinking about mixing ACT with social skills training. Being a newbie to ACT, I am not sure if this is OK, or what that might look like. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Robin, I'm also interested

Hi Robin,

I'm also interested in using ACT with adults with AS, I was wondering if you ever found out more information on this topic please?
Thanks
