Abstract	Measurement-based care is an approach to clinical care that involves systematically evaluating patient-reported outcomes to guide clinical decision making with a strong evidence base in the general population; however, its use in autism is limited. As autistic people are more likely to be diagnosed with psychiatric disorders (e.g. depression, anxiety) and to use psychiatric services (e.g. psychotherapy) than the general population, efforts to enhance clinical care for this population are critical. The current proof-of-concept study presents the development and pilot administration of an autism-adapted measurement-based care (MBC-AUT) system for psychotherapy designed for and with autistic people, as well as preliminary data on the feasibility, acceptability, benefits, and barriers to the adoption of the system for clients and clinicians. Findings from the first 18 youth and adult clients to use the system suggest that the MBC-AUT system is feasible and acceptable. Important benefits of the MBC-AUT system for clients and clinicians were identified through semi-structured interviews, and some barriers to the use of the MBC-AUT system were raised. Potential solutions are presented to address these barriers and to reduce the client and clinician burden. As autistic clients continue to seek psychological services, efforts to enhance the delivery and quality of psychotherapy for this population are essential. (As Provided).
