neurodevelopmental disorder
Let an agent explain neurodevelopmental disorders as a category and its main conditions in general terms, relay assessment, support and rights information from health and education bodies, present neurodiversity and medical perspectives with attribution, and route personal questions to professionals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain neurodevelopmental disorders as a category and its main conditions in general terms, relay assessment, support and rights information from health and education bodies, present neurodiversity and medical perspectives with attribution, and route personal questions to professionals.
A group of conditions with onset in the developmental period that affect the growth and function of the brain and nervous system, producing differences and difficulties in cognition, communication, motor skills, attention, learning and behaviour, including autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disability, communication and learning disorders, motor disorders such as tic disorders, and many rare genetic syndromes; neurodevelopmental conditions are lifelong, vary widely, and are supported through assessment, education, therapy and accommodation, and are described here with respect for neurodiversity perspectives.
What it is for: Conditions arising in brain development.
It can be explain the category and conditions; relay assessment and support information; present perspectives with attribution; route personal questions.
Distinguishing features
Developmental onset
Lifelong
Wide variation
Support and accommodation
What it looks like
Not visible; differences in development and behaviour.
How it is recognised
Conditions with developmental onset affecting brain function
Autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disability, learning and motor disorders
Acquired brain injury occurs later; mental illnesses such as depression have different courses
