Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Autistic adults who have participated in the SRP program display greater independence in using Rideshare compared to autistic adults who did not participate in the SRP program (wait-list group)
Autistic adults who have participated in the SRP program display greater safety in using Rideshare compared to autistic adults who did not participate in the SRP program (wait-list group)?
Evaluate if the trainers conducting the SRP intervention find the intervention to be appropriate

Secondary outcome measures
How do SRP participants use of Rideshare for community, social, and/or employment activities after the intervention
In the wait-list group, is there a change in community engagement, social participation, and employment from the waitlist phase (no intervention) to the 2-month follow-up period (after the intervention)
