A selective survey of neurodevelopmental delay syndromes is presented and discussed from neural, cognitive, and behavioral perspectives to highlight their impact on adult neuromaturation, learning abilities, psychosocial expression, and psychiatric adjustment. Emphasis is placed on the discussion of major factors and issues that influence neurodevelopmental delays, dysfunctions, and selective clinical examples of how they are manifested in adult adjustment.
