Mastering DBT Skill DEAR MAN: A Guide for Autistic Adults
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a structured, skills-based therapeutic approach originally developed to support individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Over time, it’s been adapted to help people manage anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation and more.
DBT focuses on four key skill areas: emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness. These tools offer practical strategies to manage emotions, reduce stress and foster healthier relationships.
For autistic adults, DBT is especially helpful for managing sensory overload, intense emotions, difficulty with self-advocacy and challenges in social communication. One of DBT’s strengths is its use of practical step-by-step tools that break complex experiences into manageable parts.
This article focuses on one of DBT’s core skills: DEAR MAN––a technique that supports assertive communication and self-advocacy. DEAR MAN can help autistic adults express their needs clearly, reduce anxiety in difficult conversations and build healthier personal and professional relationships.

Understanding Adult Autism: Facts and Statistics You Need to Know
For much of the general public, the word “autism” conjures a specific picture: A gifted but odd young boy with behavioral issues and some kind of profound, savantish knowledge, like Raymond Babbit from Rain Man or Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon.
Although the diagnostic criteria for autism certainly include the precocious eccentric individuals that are often portrayed in popular media, autism is a wide and encompassing spectrum. Our understanding of its various manifestations is evolving all the time. As our understanding changes, so does how we diagnose and support autistic individuals.
