Abstract Objective: Schema therapy (ST) has recently been shown to be effective for the treatment of various mental disorders, including personality disorders. This pilot clinical trial aimed to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of ST for adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HF-ASD)Results: From pre- to post-treatment, we found significant improvements in social functions (GAF and WHO-QOL), early maladaptive schema (YSQ), and depression and anxiety (BDI-II and STAI).Trial registration: UMIN000014535; registered on July 11, 2014.

Abstract Objective Psychological problems associated with isolation and mistrust are common among young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Schema therapy (ST) has recently been shown to be effective against chronic personality problems of various mental disorders, including personality disorders. This pilot clinical trial aimed to explore the feasibility and acceptability of ST in young adults with high-functioning ASD. Results Following the intervention, a significant reduction in early maladaptive schemas and improvements in quality of life and social adjustment were observed. ST may be feasible and is applicable to young adults with HF-ASD. Trial registration UMIN000014535; registered on July 11, 2014

ABSTRACTThere's some controversy about memory disorders in teenagers with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder. Some researches maintain that the semantic memory remains intact while the episodic memory is the most affected system in comparison with Normal Development teenagers; however there are no researches connecting both kinds of memory in a single analysis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if the episodic recognition improved when semantic keys where autogenerated in the coding phase in these teenagers. The results produced shown that there aren't statistically significant differences between the category's autogeneration compared to the absence of category's autogeneration in the episodic recall.RESUMENExiste controversia acerca de las alteraciones del funcionamiento de la memoria en adolescentes con trastorno del espectro del autismo de alto funcionamiento. Algunas investigaciones sostienen que la memoria semántica está intacta mientras que la memoria episódica es el sistema más afectado en comparación con adolescentes con desarrollo normal; sin embargo no hay estudios que relacionen ambos tipos de memoria en un solo análisis. El  objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar si el reconocimiento episódico mejoraba al autogenerar claves semánticas en la fase de codificación en estos adolescentes. Los resultados mostraron que no hay diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre la autogeneración de la categoría en comparación con la ausencia de la autogeneración de la categoría en el recuerdo episódico.
