Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has published an article [Abstract, Full Text] by Dr Beverly A. Wright and Dr Steven G. Zecker. They have been studying how the brains of children with learning difficulties appear to be underdeveloped compared to child without learning problems. The idea of brain delay also could help explain anecdotal evidence from clinicians who work with learning disabled children that those children toilet train late, have difficulty learning to ride a bicycle, talk later, and generally appear less developmentally mature than their unaffected counterparts. Significantly at around 10 years old, right around puberty’s onset there was a halt in further development in the children with learning problems.
