There’s so much brain development that happens in the first few years after birth that there’s absolutely no way you can say that with confidence.

- tsoukase 2y agoNo developmental anomaly can start after birth. It must preexist but is not detected. Proof: heavy cases of autism are diagnosed at birth, so the beginning lies sometime in uterus. The same holds for the lighter cases too.
- MajimasEyepatch 2y agoNonsense. Developmental disorders can be caused by any number of factors in early childhood, like stress, neglect, infection, injury, and exposure to substances in the environment like lead. A multifactorial disorder like autism may have many different causes, and we don’t know enough to say for certain that they all originate before birth. I’d wager they do not.
- yareal 2y agoWhat the fuck? Of course developmental anomalies can start after birth. Yeah, many initially develop in the womb, but like, the time in the womb is a trivial percentage of a child's development.
