Week 8 assignment details. My assigned disorder is Autism spectrum disorder STUDY GUIDE FORUM Abnormal brain development or damage at an early age can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. Within this group of disorders, some are resolvable with appropriate and timely interventions, either pharmacological or nonpharmacological, while other disorders are chronic and need to be managed throughout the lifespan.
