Brain Development Lags in ADHD Kids

[JMH]

Children with ADHD experience a developmental delay in areas of the brain important for controlling action and attention, a new study shows.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health studied 234 children with ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) and 231 normally developing children, scanning each of their brains up to 4 times from age 10 to 17.

I think they mean 'conventional' or 'normal' brain development lags, in some areas like intuition, they seem to be ahead of the 'norm'.
