Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are primarily characterized by persistent difficulties in social interaction, communication, and understanding others' intentions. In adults, these social challenges are often pronounced and impact interpersonal relationships, professional life, and overall quality of life. Despite the availability of various educational, behavioral, and psychotherapeutic approaches, there is currently no specific and effective treatment to sustainably address these social deficits.
