Neurodevelopmental disorders often show up in early childhood, usually before primary school begins, and can present throughout the individual’s life. They are developmental deficits that can affect a person’s emotions, memory, ability to learn, socialize and maintain self-control. They can be limited in nature, for instance to learning, or the deficits can be more serious and affect the overall intelligence or social skills.

While there are no known cures for neurodevelopmental disorders, medication and therapy treatments do exist that can help both children and adults manage their disorders.
