Hyperactivity Disorder

Neuropsychiatric disorders of childhood place an enormous burden on families and the health care system. This chapter reviews the epidemiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Tourette’s Disorder, and Intellectual Disabilities, concentrating on their distribution, estimated heritability, and implied genetic architecture. We discuss evidence of etiologic overlap between the four disorders, as well as hypothesized links between severely disordered behavior and typical behavioral variation in the general population.
