Summary
Mental health difficulties, such as anxiety, are common in young people with neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs), including Attention-Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and autism. However, the nature of the relationship between neurodevelopmental traits and anxiety symptoms across development is not fully understood. Using existing longitudinal data on mental health and neurodevelopmental traits, this project aims to further understand: i) how neurodevelopmental traits and anxiety symptoms co-develop from childhood to young adulthood, ii) to what extent anxiety symptoms influence outcomes in young people with neurodevelopmental disorders, and iii) whether neurodevelopmental traits have a causal effect on anxiety symptoms, and vice versa.
