Attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactive
disorder, pervasive developmental disorder, obsessive-compulsive
disorder, asperger's syndrome, and autism, to name but a few, may
be viewed as points on a spectrum of developmental disabilities in
which those points share features in common and possibly etiology
as well, varying only in severity and in the primary anatomical
region of dysfunctional activity.
This text focuses on alterations of the normal development of
the child. A working theory is presented based on what we know of
the neurological and cognitive development in the context of
evolution of the human species and its brain. In outlining our
theory of developmental disabilities in evolutionary terms, the
authors offer evidence to support the following notions: Bipedalism
was the major reason for human neocortical evolution; Cognition
evolved secondary and parallel to evolution of motricity; There
exists an overlap of cognitive and motor symptoms; Lack of
thalamo-cortical stimulation, not overstimulation, is a fundamental
problem of developmental disabilities; A primary problem is
dysfunctions of hemisphericity; Most conditions in this spectrum of
disorders are the result of a right hemisphericity; Environment is
a fundamental problem; All of these conditions are variations of
the same problem; These problems are correctable; Hemisphere
specific treatment is the key to success.
