neurodevelopmental disorders
Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of conditions that affect the development of the nervous system, leading to difficulties in areas such as communication, behavior, and learning. Common examples include autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and intellectual disability. These disorders typically manifest in early childhood and can impact daily functioning.
The exact causes of neurodevelopmental disorders are often complex and may involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and biological factors. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes, as they can help individuals develop essential skills and cope with challenges associated with their condition.
