How can we develop a ChatGPT-based job coach system to assist individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in job applications, job interviews, and interpersonal skills in workplaces?
How effective is the ChatGPT-based job coach in helping ASD individuals (n=30) prepare for job applications, job interviews, and interpersonal skills in workplaces? What clinical correlates are associated with better effectiveness, and what are the interaction patterns between ASD adults and the ChatGPT platform?
Participants will complete assessment questionnaires (evaluating autism traits and empathy, approximately 30 minutes) and a one-hour job interview practice. Please follow the recommendations to use ChatGPT for completing your job resume, job type discussions, job interview preparation and practice, explanation of Asperger's traits for the workplace, and workplace social discussions. After one week of practice, you will fill out the assessment questionnaires and complete the job interview practice again.
