For no fault of ours, Many of us fail to realise the importance of transitions and the part it plays in the presentation of the child or young person. Your child may behave in one way at home which is their comfort zone and in a completely different setting he manifests many of the symptoms we know to indicate one neurological disorder or the other.

Listen as Dr. Takon discusses this important issue.
