Findings reinforce the importance of offering formulation-based psychological therapy that flexes in an evidence-informed way, according to the preferences and needs of autistic individuals. Further research should establish factors influencing accessibility and effectiveness of EMDR for autistic individuals, and the impact of autism-relevant training on the knowledge, skills and confidence of EMDR therapists and clinical supervisors working with this client group.
