Dear Student,
You are very limited in your answer in that it can only amount to 300 words. So as always, it is best to plan the answer with an outline. I suggest:
1. What are neurodevelopmental disorders? 50 words.
2. Chemicals/drugs and their relationship to neurodevelopmental disorders - 100 words.
3. Example of disorders - 100 words.
4. Prevention position - 50 words.
If you think about it, it's really a short essay and you can only say so much. So I suggest planning it well. The information below should help you. You can also use the listed resources to further your studies on the subject. Good luck with this assignment.
Sincerely,
AE 105878/Xenia Jones
