Background  Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can experience obstacles in traditional health care situations due to difficulties associated with their impairment.    Objective  This controlled study aims to investigate the feasibility of an internet-based support and coaching intervention (IBSC), including 2 weekly chat sessions and 2 complementary clinic visits with coaches over the course of 8 weeks, for adolescents and young adults with ADHD and/or ASD in 2 naturalistic routine care settings.    Methods  Individuals with ADHD and/or ASD aged 15-32 years were recruited in 2 clinical settings, where they received either IBSC (n=24) or treatment as usual (TAU; n=20). Outcome measures included self-report questionnaires assessing quality of life (Manchester Short Assessment for Quality of Life), sense of coherence (Sense Of Coherence 29), self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), and anxiety and depressive symptoms (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS] and Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale-Self-reported, respectively).    Results  Significant between-group effects were observed in measures of anxiety (HADS) at postintervention ( P =.02) as well as at the 6-month follow-up ( P =.004). Significant between-group effects were also noted for depressive symptoms (HADS) postintervention ( P =.04). The between-group effects were partially explained by a deterioration in the TAU group. A significant increase in self-esteem ( P =.04) as well as a decrease in anxiety ( P =.003) at the 6-month follow-up was observed in the intervention group following IBSC. Findings from a qualitative study of the intervention are consistent with the results.    Conclusions  The findings from this study suggest that IBSC holds promise as a feasible complement or alternative to traditional face-to-face health care meetings.
