The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn the preliminary feasibility and efficacy of a home-based hybrid computerized executive function (EF) training program using social stimuli for autistic individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does hybrid EF training using virtual human stimuli improve the EF and symptoms of autistic individuals? 2. What are the parents' attitudes toward the training program? Researchers will compare changes in EF task performance and parent-report autistic symptoms and investigate parents' responses on a feedback questionnaire after autistic individuals undergo two weeks of training. Participants will: 1. Undergo computerized training at home five 30-minute sessions a week, for two weeks 2. Visit the university campus before and after the training program to undertake an assessment
