TheTukeCentreYork Report post Posted January 30, 2015 Hello, At the autism service based at The Tuke Centre, York, we are currently undertaking research regarding the effectiveness of Dialectal Behavioural Therapy (DBT) for individuals on the autistic spectrum. We are hoping to speak to adults over the age of 18 with a diagnosis of autism who have undertaken a programme of Dialectal Behavioural Therapy, and are willing to discuss their experiences with us. If you are interested in taking part and/or would like more information, please reply to this post or contact Dr Victoria Hughes on 01904430370 or email vhughes@thetukecentre.org.uk Thankyou!

Ettina Report post Posted March 27, 2015 I wish I could get DBT, I think it would help me, but I haven't ever been offered it. I have a dual diagnosis of autism and PTSD, and I also meet 4 criteria for borderline personality disorder (you need 5 for the diagnosis, but the four I have cause plenty of unhappiness). I've read studies suggesting people who meet 3 or 4 BPD criteria can benefit from DBT, just as those who actually have that diagnosis do, and from reading what DBT's about I think it would help. But I've never heard about it being used with AS. I suppose, given the emphasis on learning to regulate emotions, it could be helpful to a high functioning autistic person who has meltdowns.
