This project investigates the effectiveness of a new intervention approach for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to optimize the effects of an evidence-based behavioral intervention, Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) by attempting to enhance it with oxytocin (OXT). We will integrate fMRI, eye tracking, and behavioral outcomes to measure how OXT may create a neural background for individuals with ASD to bolster their motivation to interact socially and facilitate their biological preparedness for learning social communication skills during behavioral treatments.
