    There are multiple stages of human brain development and maturation.

    The first stage is from birth to the age of 7 years old, when the various areas of the brain develop at at different time and at different rates for each child.

    Formal education should begin after the age of 7 years old, which is when each child's initial stage of brain development is completed and a child's lifelong cognitive limitations can be clinically assessed and diagnosed.

    While at the same age it will be possible to identify the alternative compensating skills and abilities each child may have developed to work around their lifelong cognitive limitations.

    The term 'disability' refers to a condition that makes it more challenging for a person to undertake specific activities or to interact with the world around them. It can mean different things to different people, as every disabled person has their own means of expressing themselves. I do consider myself to be disabled, because society reminds me of this fact each day; yet I am not defined by it.
    Nevertheless, disability has played a significant role in my everyday life, affecting the effort required to speak, walk, think, and perform academically. I observe, at times, that people perceive me as disabled — they stare because I appear different. I have, however, learnt to disregard this, as it is in human nature to notice what stands out. Such curiosity can suggest genuine interest and, in some respects, aids my own awareness of my surroundings. That said, I have experienced severe bullying as a direct result of my disability and appearance.

    Its always blown my mind that people have same symptoms i know some worse for others how people actually act and think close to what i do when i got diagnosed with bpd that was hard as i took it as my personality was so flawed and i hated myself as it was how life events shapes the human mind always found that intreasting and as the years go on connecting more Dots ie bpd adhd ect and seeing all the traits and why my life has been incredibly hard and how its actually not our fault sort of bitter sweet feeling but also the structure of societys been told to reject anyone or any behaviours that are different from whats Deemed socially acceptble which ive always despised that way of thinking
