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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simpler, language-friendly test to help diagnose ADHD and autism more accurately.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage validation study, not a treatment trial. The test may not prove reliable enough to replace current methods.
