Why it might matter to you:
Understanding differential treatment responses in neurodivergent populations is critical for refining non-pharmacological care models. This work provides a methodological framework for evaluating real-world therapy outcomes, which can inform the design of more tailored clinical studies. The focus on symptom trajectories in a routine care setting offers practical insights for developing interventions that address the complex needs of patients and those supporting them.
