What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on identifying neurodevelopmental disorders in adults who were diagnosed after the age of 18. It aims to address the significant number of individuals who remain untreated and symptomatic into adulthood, highlighting the need for a diagnostic pathway for lifelong care. The study will evaluate adults with various neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD and autism spectrum disorders, to better understand their cognitive dysfunctions and challenges in socio-professional integration.
