Dialectical behavior therapy in autistic adults: effects on ecological subjective and physiological measures of emotion dysregulation
Our study adds to previous research showing that DBT is efficient in treating ED in autistic adults, using real-time measurements of subjective and physiological markers collected through EMA. Specifically, alexithymia measures decreased post-DBT while positive emotions and emotion control increased. Randomized controlled trials should consider using these methods to improve the assessment of the impact of DBT in the daily life of autistic individuals with ED and/or suicidal behavior.
