A literature review was conducted on over-adaptation in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Japan, in order to study the clinical implications of preventing mental health problems. Over-adaptation is considered to be a concept peculiar to Japan, along with related issues like perfectionism, burnout, and camouflage, which impact mental health in individuals with ASD. Camouflage, in particular, has been the focus in recent research on ASD, and useful findings have been reported through empirical research. Both over-adaptation and camouflage occur in social situations, and appear to be externally adapted in individuals with ASD. In addition, they commonly lead to negative consequences in these individuals. However, some symptoms and states reported as over-adaptation by Japanese clinicians cannot be explained by camouflage. In order to provide preventive support for maladaptation in individuals with ASD, the relationship between over-adaptation and related psychological traits needs to be investigated, and the over-adaptation process and associated factors should be identified.
