Background: This systematic review investigated the state of intervention science on programs that promote healthy intimate relationship skills and sexual health for autistic youth (i.e., healthy intimacy). Methods: Using PRISMA guidelines, we reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in 2010 or later that enrolled [less than or equal to] 1 autistic adolescent participant. Results: Of 1934 articles returned, three met inclusion criteria: Supporting Teens with Autism on Relationships, Tackling Teenage Training, and Peers Engaged in Effective Relationships-Decision-Making. All increased content knowledge and one improved social/ behavioral functioning. Conclusion: We identified three RCT-supported interventions for autistic youth that teach healthy intimacy skills. Comparative effectiveness research on these programs would benefit the field.
