Neurodevelopmental Diversity
The conference I attended Friday was titles Emerging Paradigms in Neurodevelopmental Disorders. The instructor prefers to consider them as differences rather than deficits. I believe I was able to enjoy the conference partly due to his obviously love for working with people with Asperger's Syndrome. He talked about a number neurodevelopmental syndromes, the parts of the brain their effect, and how they may influence the behaviors and thinking patterns of those who have them. He also discussed things they may be miss diagnosed as.
Here are a couple of interesting websites I learned about:
