Objective: This pilot study aimed to develop a Coping Skill Training (CST) Program for adolescents withAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who have sexual problem behaviors. Methods: Based on previous work, we created a `CST Program for adolescents with ASD who have sexualproblem behaviors'. Research was conducted by examining some medical treatment records of consentingpatients who were seven 13- to 27-year-old adolescents. Results and Discussion: the seven adolescents were all male. They were active participants in the program.Despite the existence of a sexual stimulus, this study showed there was a small decrease in each of their sexualproblem behaviors. However, in only 1 case was there no relapse. Also, the program gave special considerationto the characteristic traits of Autism and the degree of mental retardation. Conclusions: The examination of some medical treatment records from a medium- and long-term perspectiveindicated the possibility of the effectiveness of developing the Coping Skill Training program for adolescentswith Autism Spectrum Disorder who have sexual problem behaviors.
