The relationship between early adversity and numerous negative outcomes across the lifespan is evident in a wide range of societies and cultures (e.g., Pakulak, Stevens, & Neville, 2018).

Montiel-Nava, Cecilia; Chacín, José A.; González-Ávila, Zoila – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017

E. – Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, 2013
