Participate in a study that looks at developing needs assessment plans for self-management of ADHD. This is run by someone with ADHD who is doing funded, academic research that has real outcomes and is done in collaboration with the people it is for. The study has had a full ethics review.

To be clear: this isn't my study but the researcher will know it's posted here and will see the comments on this post.

Just checked and the ethics approval currently covers UK participants only, but the plan is to create a wirld-wide study once this one is complete and analysed.

I’m also curious about childhood diagnosed, but stopped taking meds back when Ritalin was a thing. The instructions read to me like I had to be either diagnosed as an adult or self-diagnosed.

Hi. You read correctly - the research is specifically about those with an adult diagnosis or self-diagnosis as an adult. Thank you for taking a look, though.
