The number of autism and ADHD diagnoses has increased significantly in recent years. What does the research say about the causes behind this trend? Welcome to a closer look at the issue everyone is talking about.

Professor Sven Bölte is the director of KIND, the Center of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at Karolinska Institutet, and one of the world’s leading researchers in autism and ADHD. In this free webinar, he will present what we know about the factors behind the rising number of diagnoses, how these factors may interact and overlap, and what knowledge is still lacking. He will also highlight possible ways forward for society and leave time for questions and dialogue.

This webinar will be held in Swedish and is open to everyone. No registration required.
