No basis for this article

I agree, there is no real medical or scientific research to support this article. Autism and ADHD has nothing to do neurodevelopment disorders. Simply put this article should be scrubbed as it has the potential to misinform an enormous public and new generation of wellness advisors to the abilities or disabilities of at least 20% of the worlds population. It also misinforms to what actual neurodevelopment disorders are and the potential people with these disorders truly have. There has got to be a better system in place for actual facts verses public opinion on Wikipedia as the sad fact is you now carry a greater responsibility of the real well researched encyclopedias of yore. 86.31.122.93 (talk) 03:52, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Every reliable source classifies Autism and ADHD as a neurodevelopmental disorder, what are you talking about?--Megaman en m (talk) 06:37, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Types at present

Currently the "Types" section states that "According to the DSM V, the neurodevelopmental disorders include the following:" Firstly, it should be DSM-5 by convention (we use Roman numerals for the first through fourth editions, Arabic numerals from the fifth edition onwards). Secondly, the eleventh type listened is OCD, which does not even appear in the cited source at all, nor is it classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder in the DSM-5. I am unsure what other inaccuracies there are, but the DSM-5 chapter on neurodevelopmental disorders contains the following groups of disorders: Intellectual disabilities; Communication disorders; Autism spectrum disorder; ADHD; Specific learning disorder; Motor disorders. There is no mention at all of things like OCD or fragile X syndrome in this chapter. Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders have their own chapter. It is also worth noting that the DSM-5 chapters are in a logical order (e.g. they state that the chapter on bipolar-type disorders is between the chapters on psychotic disorders and mood disorders to represent its theoretical position between those groups) and the obsessive-compulsive and related disorders do not come immediately after the neurodevelopmental disorders, so the DSM-5 does not even hint at there being a relationship between these groups, let alone OCD being a neurodevelopmental disorder itself. I shall remove OCD from this list but am unsure how to go about fixing this section so will not make any further edits without more discussion. Anditres (talk) 22:34, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
