Atypical Neurodevelopment
Atypical neurodevelopment refers to differences in how the brain grows and develops, which can impact learning, behavior, and communication. These differences may appear early in life and are characteristic of conditions like autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or other neurodevelopmental disorders. While "atypical" simply means not following typical developmental patterns, it doesn't imply impairment—many individuals with atypical neurodevelopment have unique strengths. Understanding these differences helps in providing appropriate support and interventions to maximize an individual's potential and well-being.
