Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of conditions that affect the brain's development, leading to challenges in areas like learning, communication, and behavior. These disorders often appear in early childhood and can impact a person's ability to function in daily life. Common examples include autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and intellectual disabilities.
These conditions can vary widely in severity and symptoms. While some individuals may struggle with social interactions or focus, others might have difficulties with motor skills or language. Early diagnosis and intervention, such as therapy and educational support, can help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
