Jobs (work therapy) may help adults with autism get smarter.
This study was designed to see if people with autism have higher cognitive function after three years of working at a job (supported employment program). The authors found that people with autism who were given a cognitive test scored higher on the test after three years of working at a job. People with autism who were not given a job did not score higher on the cognitive test after three years of not working. Thus, training for a job and working at a job can help the brain to work better. The study had only 44 adults.
