Usually comes from abuse, assault, verbal abuse, etc.
I have developmental trauma because of my ex stepdad.

Arrested Development 

1) The best show you never saw. The Emmy Award winning show which survived for about two and a third seasons before being cancelled by Fox. Failed due to being far too smart for a mass audience who would rather watch Pamela Anderson "act" on Stacked.
2) Any act of getting completely screwed despite undeniable skills.
1) Fox jumped the shark when they gave the "Arrested Development" timeslot to "Prison Break."

2) When Michael Bluth was repeatedly passed over in favor of his amusing, inept, "illusionist" brother, Gob for leadership of the Bluth Compay, he was given the AD treatment.

arrested development 

IMO, the funniest and most well written show on TV.
Buy the DVD's to fully grasp the greatness of this show.
From Arrested Development:
"Lucille: Well, apparently, mood-altering medication leads to street drugs. That's what this very handsome young doctor said on the Today Show.
Michael: That was Tom Cruise, the actor.
Lucille: They said he was some kind of scientist..."
(if you don't get the above quote, don't bother watching the show)

Arrested Development 

Only the best show EVER to hit TV!
A new cult classic, like Seinfeld and Office Space
Did you see Jason Bateman in Arrested Development last night? He was arguing with GOB so much!

child development 

An academic subject devoted to overanalyzing and simultaneously underestimating children, confusing the natural instincts of future preschool teachers.
My child development teacher doesn't allow me to use the word misbehave.
