Specific Learning Disorders and Borderline Intelligence
The literature demonstrates the extreme complexity of the relation between Specific Learning Disorders and Intelligence. The main difficulty is in the construction of the definitions. In fact, the scientific community identifies important limitations in the way in which it now defines and evaluates learning disorders and intelligence.

The Dysfunction of the Ways of Expression of Pain as a Cause of Problem Behaviours in Patients with Autism
The literature shows a high prevalence of problem behaviours in the population with Pervasive Development Disorders. Some recent studies have looked at the pathogenetic contribution of organic conditions, including pain. People with Pervasive Development Disorder present a difficulty in the functional expression of pain and tend to convert to abnormal behaviors.
