Abstract

This study analyzed domestic and international research on self-management interventions for adolescents and adults with ASD, aiming sought to explore their practices and implications. A total of 21 domestic and international articles published between 2013 and 2023 were selected to analyze research trends and intervention contents, and the quality of each study was analyzed according to qualitative indicators. The results showed that 12 studies included adolescents, nine studies included participants in early adulthood, and only one study included middle-aged adults over 40 years old. Self-monitoring was the most common self-management subcomponent (19 studies). Thirteen studies used self-monitoring alone, while seven studies used it in combination with other self-management subcomponents. The most common dependent variables were social communication and occupational skills (5 studies). One study met all 22 quality indicators, and six out of 21 studies met 90% or more of the total score. Based on these findings, the study suggests implications for the field of self-management interventions for adolescents and adults with ASD and provides directions for future research.
