This isn’t necessarily true and the case portrayed in the movie is not the rule.

The disorder affects the information processing capacity of the brain and has characteristic symptoms. It affects interaction between the nerve cells and synapses. The disorder appears in childhood and can rapidly progress with newer symptoms showing up as the child grows.
