Abstract
None:
Physical inactivity and sedentarism among autistic adults are a growing public health concern. By integrating behavior change theories and emphasizing unique preferences for visuospatial learning and gaming technology, we hypothesize that gamified mobile health (mHealth) applications can be effective at increasing free-living physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior in autistic adults.
