Mental Health in Teens with Autism and Intellectual Disability

Over a 6-month period, adolescents and their parents will participate in clinical interviews, EEG tasks, and surveys about depression, mental health, and friendships, among other topics. Over time, we hope to understand depression and mental health outcomes in autistic adolescents with intellectual disability (14-17 years old) and their parents.
