Stimulants, such as methylphenidate (MPH), are effective in treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but there is individual variability in response, especially in adults. To improve outcomes, we need to understand the factors associated with adult treatment response. This longitudinal study investigated whether pre-treatment anatomy of the fronto-striatal and fronto-parietal attentional networks was associated with MPH treatment response.

- Growing interest exists regarding the interaction between individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the criminal justice system (CJS), but findings on whether they offend more than non-ASD individuals remain unclear.
- A study spanning 17 years examined the rate of CJS contact among adults diagnosed with ASD, revealing that nearly 25% had some involvement as potential suspects, with increased risk linked to being male, having ADHD, and experiencing psychosis.
- This research aims to identify factors influencing offending behavior in people with ASD, suggesting that mental health services could play a role in reducing CJS contact by providing necessary support or treatment for co-occurring conditions.
