    Neurodevelopmental disorders are a group of mental conditions negatively affecting the development of the nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. Key features of these conditions are:

    • Start early in life (often noticeable in childhood)
    • Affect how the brain develops and organizes itself
    • Often involve learning, communication, attention or social functioning
    • Tend to be lifelong, though symptoms can change over time

    Common examples of neurodevelopmental disorder are: autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disability, specific learning disorders (such as dyslexia) and developmental language disorder.
