Research highlights the long-term consequences of childhood mental health difficulties. As is the case for children with typical development, anxiety in children with neurodevelopmental disorders appears to be related to a range of factors, including age and level of cognitive functioning. For some children with neurodevelopmental disabilities mental age (MA), that is the age at which a child is performing intellectually, may not be synonymous with chronological age (CA), with potentially significant heterogeneity within samples. Understanding the interactions between anxiety and core characteristics of the neurodevelopmental disorders under investigation is critical for the development of appropriate theoretical models to guide assessment and intervention. Children with neurodevelopmental disorders may present with an uneven cognitive profile, with relative strengths in some areas and deficits in others. Accurate and reliable diagnosis of comorbid mental health disorders in children with neurodevelopmental disorders is of major importance.Read More
