ImpactModerate impact

While not universally viewed as groundbreaking, many posts recognize the study’s potential to influence future research directions and diagnostic approaches.

Abstract in brief

This systematic review examines how ADHD and ASD overlap and differ in young adults aged 16-26, focusing on brain activity measured through EEG during cognitive tasks.
The review highlights that most studies analyze brain responses like event-related potentials (ERPs) and are beginning to explore oscillatory brain activity related to attention, social, and sensory processing.
It also notes a lack of research directly comparing ADHD and ASD in young adults or studying individuals with both diagnoses, suggesting future studies should focus on cross-disorder comparisons with larger, long-term samples.
