ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how eye movements, specifically eye vergence (which helps us see in 3D), might be linked to attention in children and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Researchers are using computer-based eye-tracking tasks to see how well these eye movements can help identify different types of attention problems. They hope that by understanding the relationship between eye vergence and attention, they can help detect attention issues earlier and provide better-targeted treatments.

To participate, individuals aged 6 and older are welcome, whether they have been diagnosed with ADHD or ASD or are part of a control group without these conditions. Participants will take part in eye-tracking tasks, and the study will also explore using smartphone cameras for tracking eye movements. It's important to note that individuals with certain vision issues, like uncorrected eyesight problems or other eye disorders, cannot participate. This research is focused on learning more about how attention works in people with ADHD and ASD, rather than testing a medical device for diagnosis or treatment.
