Herein, we report the case of a patient with SAD comorbid with ASD who could not speak in front of others until she used a humanoid robot as her avatar. During the intervention, her personality changed from shy to outgoing, which is explained by the Proteus effect. These case findings suggest that interventions with a robot avatar might improve the motivation for individuals with SAD comorbid with ASD who cannot speak in front of others to communicate., Asian Journal of Psychiatry, 78, art. no. 103315; 2022}, title = {Intervention with a humanoid robot avatar for individuals with social anxiety disorders comorbid with autism spectrum disorders}, volume = {78}, year = {2022} }
