ClinConnect Summary

The ASDactive clinical trial is studying a new program designed to help young people with autism or Asperger's syndrome become more physically active. The goal is to find out if this program can change their habits and encourage them to engage in regular exercise. Researchers will gather information through interviews with participants and their families to see how well the program works, measuring physical activity levels before and after the intervention.

To participate, young people aged 10 to 24 who have been diagnosed with Level 1 autism or Asperger's syndrome may be eligible, as long as they do not have any physical conditions or injuries that would prevent them from being active. If selected, participants can expect to take part in activities aimed at increasing their physical activity in a supportive environment. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it offers a chance to contribute to research that could benefit many others in the future.
