Autism and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are two of the most commonly observed neurodevelopmental conditions in childhood. Providing a specific computational assessment to distinguish between the two can prove difficult…
Neurodivergent people frequently experience decreased sound tolerance, with estimates suggesting it affects 50-70% of this population. This heightened sensitivity can provoke reactions ranging from mild discomfort to severe distress,…
Social media research on mental health has focused predominantly on detecting and diagnosing conditions at the individual level. In this work, we shift attention to \emph{intergroup} behavior, examining how two prominent neurodivergent…
Neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), frequently experience anxiety, panic attacks, meltdowns, and emotional dysregulation due to societal pressures and inadequate…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one neuro developmental disorder that is now widespread in the world. ASD persists throughout the life of an individual, impacting the way they behave and communicate, resulting to notable deficits…
Over the last years, increasing evidence has fuelled the hypothesis that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition of altered brain functional connectivity. The great majority of these empirical studies rely on functional magnetic…
The increasing adoption of remote and hybrid work modalities in the technology sector has brought new opportunities and challenges for the inclusion of people with disabilities (PWD) in software development teams (SDT). This study…
Software development teams have to face stress caused by deadlines, staff turnover, or individual differences in commitment, expertise, and time zones. While students are typically taught the theory of software project management, their…
A developmental disorder that severely damages communicative and social functions, the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) also presents aspects related to mental rigidity, repetitive behavior, and difficulty in abstract reasoning. More,…
As the workforce settles into flexible work arrangements, researchers have focused on the collaborative and psychological consequences of the shift. While nearly a fifth of the world's population is estimated to be neurodivergent, the…
Despite the increasing use of large language models (LLMs) in everyday life among neurodivergent individuals, our knowledge of how they engage with, and perceive LLMs remains limited. In this study, we investigate how neurodivergent…
Learning disorders are neurological conditions that affect the brain's ability to interconnect communication areas. Dyslexic students experience problems with reading, memorizing, and exposing concepts; however the magnitude of these can be…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by an altered phenotype in social interaction and communication. Additionally, autism typically manifests differently in females as opposed to males: a phenomenon that has likely led to…
Neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), depression, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are characterized by linguistic and acoustic abnormalities, offering potential biomarkers for early detection. Despite the promise…
Research has highlighted the valuable contributions of autistic individuals in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, particularly in areas such as software development, testing, and cybersecurity. Their strengths in…
Motor dysfunction is a common sign of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), but may be difficult to detect, especially in the early stages. In this work, we examine the behavior of a…
While the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is increasing, research continues in an effort to identify common etiological and pathophysiological bases. In this regard, modern machine learning and network science pave the way for…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neurological disorder. However, the multi-faceted symptoms and large individual differences among ASD patients are hindering the diagnosis process, which largely relies on subject descriptions…
Since the strong comorbid similarity in NDDs, such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, can interfere with the accurate diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), identifying unknown classes is extremely crucial and challenging…
Objective While Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) show some common memory deficits, these two disorders show partially overlapping complex spatiotemporal patterns of neural dynamics. The objective of this study is…
