Assoc Prof David Dossetor : Severe emotional and behavioural disturbance, ADHD and other mental disorders high prevalence in people with ID (40%) and ASD (70%) indicates a common developmental pathway of disturbance, not discrete, separate disorders #NBPSA22

Ass Prof Michael McDowall:Thinking of Developmental Paediatrics as a "set of purposes"

2) managing the immediate distress
3) optimising the long-term trajectory for a young person and their family
