In Japan, "adult developmental disorder" outpatient clinics are experiencing a surge in telephone inquiries. Although this article does not mention when this surge started, it highlights an increasing recognition for the needs of adults with these disorders within the public healthcare system in Japan. Additionally, it shines a light on the challenges faced by these adults, as traditional societal norms largely focus on issues surrounding children with developmental disorders.

In Japan, there's a tendency to primarily focus on children when it comes to developmental disorders. This has led to a lack of support and recognition for the mental health needs of adults with these disorders. However, due to the booming inquiries to these specialized clinics, the issue is gaining more public attention.

In the US and EU, developmental disorders in adults are more commonly recognized and supported. These regions have robust systems aimed at providing resources and assistance to adults dealing with such issues. While Japan’s system is still in nascent stages, it highlights a global trend towards more inclusive and comprehensive mental health support systems.
