Summary

Purpose: To develop a model for internet-based support and coaching to young adults with neuropsychiatric disorders (NPD). To improve the individual's psychosocial functioning and his/her understanding of how he/she is functioning.

NPD comprise problems with social interaction, attention, impulse control and hyperactivity. The most common NPD diagnoses are ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), autism spectrum condition (ASC) and Tourette's disorder (TD). In this study the investigators use Internet-based treatment for young adults with NPD.

Method: Support/coaching by using communication over the Internet (chat and e-mail) with individuals with NPD. Twice every week during 8 weeks, young adults with NPD are offered support and coaching over the Internet by psychologist/educational therapist with great experience from NPD. The individuals are assessed before and after treatment pertaining to quality of life, sense of coherence, self-esteem, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and parents' evaluation of the young adult's situation.
