Dementia & Neuroatypical Conditions: A Resource Hub

The intersection of dementia and neuroatypical conditions, including intellectual disability, presents a complex and evolving landscape. Understanding the underlying causes, co-occurring conditions, and interconnections among these disorders remains a challenge, with limited research available to provide clear insights.

As a leader in dementia and intellectual disability advocacy and education, we are committed to serving as a comprehensive resource for available literature on these topics. Our goal is to provide access to commentary, research, and insights into the relationships between neuroatypical conditions and neuropathologies - particularly dementia in aging adults with intellectual disability.
