Research at KIND
KIND is a competence center for research, development, and education in neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism and ADHD. KIND is at the forefront of research in neurodevelopment conditions, developing new methods for detection, intervention, and supports that aim to improve outcomes for people with neurodevelopmental conditions. We seek to contribute to a more inclusive society by spreading knowledge about neurodevelopmental conditions and collaborating with the wider community.

We conduct studies to learn more about the support needs of young adults with neurodevelopmental conditions, and how the support ideally should be delivered. Our team is part of the Center of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at Karolinska Institutet (KIND).
