Recent theoretical work suggests that bullying might arise out of early cognitive deficits — including language problems, imperfect causal understanding, and poor inhibitory control — that lead to decreased competence with peers, which over time develops into bullying.14, 15 A small number of studies provide circumstantial evidence that such a hypothesis might have merit7: 1 study found a link between poor early cognitive stimulation and (broadly defined) inappropriate school behavior, 16 and another found cognitive stimulation at age 3 years to be protective against symptoms of attention - deficit disorder at age 7 years.17 A study of Greek children found that academic self - efficacy and deficits in social cognition were related to bullying behavior.18 A large US national survey found that those who perceive themselves as having average or below - average academic achievement (as opposed to very good achievement) are 50 % to 80 % more likely to be bullies.8 Yet these studies are based on cross-sectional surveys, with the variables all measured at a single point in time.

Moreover, several recent studies have revealed that the covariation among ADHD, impulsivity, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder is due, in large part, to shared genetic effects [15, 16].

Previous longitudinal studies of childhood ADHD and cross-sectional studies of adult ADHD have suggested high rates of comorbid psychiatric disorders in children and adults with ADHD.15 — 22 However, the largest cross-sectional study in adults was dependent on self - report of ADHD case status.16 The longitudinal studies of childhood ADHD used childhood ADHD cases referred to specialty treatment programs.4, 6,7,9 Thus, high rates of comorbid psychiatric disorders may not be found in the entire population of adults with ADHD.

Results of individual studies have suggested that some children who enter into intensive autism - specialized intervention services at young ages may show larger gains in terms of cognitive and adaptive functioning and early educational attainment than children who do not receive such services.2, — , 6 This research led to a reconceptualization of ASDs as a group of disorders marked by plasticity and heterogeneity and for which there was hope for better outcomes for some children who receive appropriate intervention.

Whereas a few large studies find a similar prevalence of antineuronal antibodies in patients with psychotic disorders, other psychiatric disorders and healthy controls, 1 2 there is some evidence of an increased prevalence of N - methyl - D - aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibodies in patients with first - episode psychosis.3 4 In their present study, the authors aimed to (1) investigate the prevalence of neuronal cell surface antibodies in patients with first - episode psychosis and healthy controls and (2) compare the clinical and cognitive profile of patient's with and without these antibodiein patients with psychotic disorders, other psychiatric disorders and healthy controls, 1 2 there is some evidence of an increased prevalence of N - methyl - D - aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibodies in patients with first - episode psychosis.3 4 In their present study, the authors aimed to (1) investigate the prevalence of neuronal cell surface antibodies in patients with first - episode psychosis and healthy controls and (2) compare the clinical and cognitive profile of patient's with and without these antibodiein patients with first - episode psychosis.3 4 In their present study, the authors aimed to (1) investigate the prevalence of neuronal cell surface antibodies in patients with first - episode psychosis and healthy controls and (2) compare the clinical and cognitive profile of patient's with and without these antibodieIn their present study, the authors aimed to (1) investigate the prevalence of neuronal cell surface antibodies in patients with first - episode psychosis and healthy controls and (2) compare the clinical and cognitive profile of patient's with and without these antibodiein patients with first - episode psychosis and healthy controls and (2) compare the clinical and cognitive profile of patient's with and without these antibodies.

Finally, although the sample size is relatively large, it remains too small to study the incidence of disorders with a cumulative incidence in young adulthood of less than 1 % such as schizophrenia and autism.

Recently, a research team from Denmark performed a large population - based and register - based prospective cohort study to shed further light on this compelling issue.13 Researchers included only singleton births in a 10 - year period, and excluded conditions associated with an increased risk of ASDs (eg, congenital rubella syndrome or some genetic disorders in parents).

For example, in a study of adults enrolled in Kaiser Permanente, a large California health maintenance organization, questionnaire responses to items assessing abuse and dysfunction in the early family environment predicted multiple health disorders in adulthood in dose — response fashion, including ischemic heart disease, any cancer, depression, and stroke (14).
