Autism Spectrum Disorder Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• People who have been formally diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by a clinical psychologist, using recognised diagnostic guidelines and a structured interview process with their parents or main caregivers about their developmental history.
• People with ASD who also have ADHD symptoms may be eligible, provided they are willing to stop taking their ADHD medications for at least 96 hours before the treatment starts and throughout the entire treatment period.
• People with ASD who are currently taking antipsychotic medications may be eligible, provided the dose of that medication has stayed the same for six months or more before the study begins.

Who may not be able to join:

• People who do not have a formal ASD diagnosis from a clinical psychologist, or who have a history of other neurological or psychiatric conditions, or who have had a head injury, or who are currently taking psychiatric medications.
• People with ASD who also have epilepsy, as the treatment used in this trial (called tDCS) carries a possibility of triggering seizures.
• People who also have a mood disorder or an anxiety disorder.
