简要总结
Advanced social relations protocol is aimed at young people with autism aged 9-12 years with an intelligence quotient (IQ) ≥ 80. There will be an experimental group in which technology will be used and a control group in which activities will be carried out in the traditional way. The protocol will be carried out once a week for a duration of 45 minutes. The aim is to enhance communication and social skills within the group. A total of 23 sessions are planned. From the first to the third session the participants will acquire skills for communicating and conversing in an appropriate way. Thereafter from the fourth to the eleventh session social stories illustrating scenes from everyday life will be shown, with the aim of learning and managing the dynamics in which they find themselves on a daily basis. At the end of each story shown they will be asked to impersonate the protagonists depicted in the stories, each participant involved in turn will play all the roles shown in the stories, thus working in the mode of role playing.
The last part, which includes sessions from the twelfth to the twenty-third, will be dedicated to the correct and conscious use of social networks with a focus on the risks that can be encountered and the correct ways to make good use of them.

Vineland-II (Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-II - Survey Intervention Form)
时间窗: the administration of the Vineland-II takes approximately 20-60 minutes
The Vineland-II, a revision of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (Vineland ABS), assess adaptive behavior (AB), i.e., the activities that the individual habitually performs to meet the expectations of personal autonomy and social responsibility characteristic of people of the same age and cultural background. Specifically, they aim to measure AB in the domains Communication, Skills of Daily Living, Socialization (in individuals from 0 to 90 years of age) and Motor Skills (in individuals from 0 to 7 years of age and 56 to 90 years of age). Assessment of AB is necessary for diagnosis of intellectual disability disorder and, in accordance with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), for assessment of the level of severity of the disorder. The Vineland-IIs consist of 4 scales divided into 11 subscales. They also provide an overall AB index.
