ALT 📢 Help us reach parents of neurodivergent young people with our important research study! Depression often looks different in neurodivergent young people, which traditional screeners often overlook. Therefore, we're testing a new depression screener, co-produced by neurodivergent young people, to ensure faster, more accurate diagnoses and ultimately better mental health care. 🏳️‍🌈 #ADHD #Autism #Dyspraxia #Neurodiversity

ALT Study title: Understanding and measuring depression in neurodivergent young people. We are looking for young people, aged 11- 16 years with ADHD, dyspraxia and/or autistic young people, and one of their parents to participate in a study that will help us understand depression characteristics and how we can measure them using a new screening tool. If you would like to learn more about this study, please email us at nicolejansson01@gmail.com. £10 vouchers given to teenagers after the first and second online session.
