Background: There is a growing expectation that neurodivergent young people, such as those with diagnoses of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or autism, should play a central role in shaping research on neurodevelopmental conditions.

However, it is unclear how different tools and channels have been used, what worked well or not well, for whom, and in what circumstances.
