Summary

This study is testing a new test called the Five Digits Test (FDT) to see if it can measure a person's ability to stop automatic responses—a skill often affected in ADHD and autism. The FDT does not require reading, making it useful for people with different language backgrounds. Researchers will compare the FDT to standard tests and daily-life questionnaires in 150 adults with or being evaluated for ADHD or autism.
