C.E.E.G. Framework: A Therapeutic Modality for Enhancing Outcomes in Autistic Adolescent Females

Background Autistic adolescent females often experience challenges in emotional identification, regulation and cognitive processing that differ from neurotypical peers. Standard therapeutic approaches frequently overlook these differences, leading to suboptimal outcomes. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of the Cognition, Emotion Recognition, Emotional Regulation, and Generalization (C.E.E.G.) psychotherapy framework in improving overall life satisfaction among autistic adolescent females. Methods Using a clinical case series design, three autistic adolescent females participated in biweekly C.E.E.G.‐based sessions over 12 months. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) was administered at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Results All participants demonstrated significant improvement in PedsQL scores: Julie (25–82), Andrea (36.56–85.69), and Veera (55.65–87.97), with the greatest gains in emotional regulation, social participation and peer interaction. Conclusions Findings support the C.E.E.G. framework's potential as a gender‐sensitive therapeutic model for autistic adolescent females. Future research should include larger samples and control groups to strengthen validity.
