Participants sought for studies Beyond symptoms: understanding daily life with autism and/or ADHD

Would you like to share your experiences and contribute to knowledge about life with ADHD or autism? At KIND, Karolinska Institutet, we want to better understand what everyday life is like for people with ADHD and/or autism.

Rather than focusing only on impairments and symptoms, we want to learn about personal factors that influence your daily life. These can include things like your background as well as how you see yourself, thoughts or feelings. Understanding these factors can help improve care and support.

You can participate if you: 

  • Have been diagnosed with autism and/or ADHD, and/or are a family member or someone close to a person diagnosed with autism and/or ADHD
  • Are over 7 years old
  • Can communicate your own experiences or those of a family member or someone close to you

What does participation involve? 

  • Take part in an interview, online or in person in Stockholm
  • You talk about your own life or share your perspective on the life of a loved one, focusing on personal factors that may help or create challenges in everyday life

Practical information

  • Participation takes about 1 hour – 1,5 hour
  • Receive a global gift card (250 SEK/~25 USD/~20 Euro)
  • Interviews in Swedish, English, German or Dutch
  • If you prefer, you can take part in a group interview with other participants instead of an individual interview
  • During the enrolment process, you will have the opportunity to let us know about any accessibility needs or accommodations that would support your participation. We will do our best to accommodate these where possible.

 

UPDATE: We have received as many registrations from Sweden as we can accommodate at this time. Thank you for your interest! We are now primarily looking for participants from countries other than Sweden.
