Purpose: A powerful aphorism states: "If I hadn't believed it, I wouldn't have seen it!" This challenging notion reminds us how strongly we are influenced by prevailing ideas, and how we interpret things according to current fashions and teachings.
Materials And Methods: In this paper we present and discuss contemporary perspectives concerning childhood-onset disability and the evolving nature of how people are thinking and acting. We illustrate these ideas by reminding readers of how we have all traditionally been trained and acculturated to think about many dimensions of neurodevelopmental disability ("What?"); reflect on the impact of these ways of thinking in terms of what we have conventionally "seen" and done ("So What?"); and contrast those traditions with contemporary concepts that we believe or know impact the field ("Now What?").
