The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the feasibility and acceptability of a behavioral intervention in designed to provide sexual education and improve the behavioral skills of autistic adults for intimate relationships. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Acquire feasibility and acceptability data for delivery of the CRUSH curriculum in a group didactic setting plus 1-1 coaching. * Acquire feasibility and acceptability data regarding the assessment battery for future clinical trials. Participants will complete: * A screening call. * Provide documentation of a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. * 3 visits to assess knowledge and behaviors related to dating and sexual health at each point throughout the training curriculum (before beginning, midway, and after finishing). * 15-20 training sessions to participate in the CRUSH curriculum. After each session, provide feedback about the session.
