    Chapter 20 explains what neurodevelopmental conditions are. We describe the huge variability in presentation and severity of neurodevelopmental conditions. We give examples of common neurodevelopmental conditions and explain tics disorders (including Tourette’s) and autism spectrum conditions in more detail. ADHD is discussed in more detail in the next chapter. We discuss how autism is assessed and managed and what caregiving adults can do to help autistic children and young people.
