I believe it is always a neurological disorder, but only sometimes a developmental disorder. Sometimes, intellectual, physical development is not affected.
One could be an athlete with an affinity for science who happens to have the social deficits and sensory difficulties of autism.
I am one with some developmental disorders in the past, who caught up in some ways as I got older.
It is a neurological disorder and a developmental disorder. I don't know that you understand the definition of developmental disorder. Intellectual and physical development do not have to be affected for it to be a developmental disorder.
I, personally, do not consider it a disorder. That is just my personal thing. I believe that it is neurological, I also know that it is developmental. I just don't consider myself to be disordered. But by clinical definition, I know that it is a neurological, developmental disorder.
