Neurological damage to adults will, of course, be similar. But, it's largely avoidable: See "123 BOTTOM LINE" below! (3 steps)

Details from Dr. Stephanie Seneff, Senior Research Scientist at MIT:
Expect similar neurological damage to adults — What to Do?
1) See "123 BOTTOM LINE" below (3 steps to minimize exposure)
2) This article also contains excellent tips on how to avoid pesticide poisoning + 3 easy recipes to detox Roundup/Glyphosate
3) See this 15min TEDxYouth talk by PhD Biochemist Mom — Through her research and trial and error, Dr. Reid determined that certain ingredients hidden in our food (eg, MSG) were triggering her daughter's autistic behaviors (and other inflammatory/neurological disorders), the removal of which lead to a full recovery
Correlations between increased neurological damage and non-organic/GMO foods:
123 BOTTOM LINE:
1) Eating/drinking strictly organic, non-GMO continues to be the bare-minimum for both human and environmental health (and, specifically, to minimize Roundup/Glyphosate exposure)[ GMOs and pesticides are a leading cause of the pollinator die-off crisis (aka "Colony Collapse Disorder") that now threatens all plant (and human food) survival. Buying organic/non-GMO is one of the best ways to help the bees! ]
2) Ensuring you're drinking purified water that's not bottled in plastic is also paramount (after decades of spraying, Glyphosate is now in our water). [ I use/recommend a steel Berkey water purifier, with the additional PF-2 Fluoride/Arsenic/Heavy Metal Filters. ]
3) Finally, please wash all (yes, even organic) fruits and veggies just before using (the major vector of the 2016 E.Coli outbreak was a bag of organic spinach), preferably in purified water (dry them afterwards if washed in un-purified tap water). This will greatly reduce pesticides and any harmful viruses, bacteria, or parasites…other toxins or microbes introduced during harvesting, handling, transport, storage, packaging or display...as well as any air-borne pesticides or toxins that may have drifted onto the produce from conventional farms or various other sources of air pollution (factories, fires, planes, cars, etc).
*) Bonus to reduce high Arsenic exposure: Avoid/limit rice and rice products (especially brown rice/brown rice syrup), and non-organic/non-pastured chicken/eggs. Cook rice like you do pasta (boil/strain). ( Prepared at home: Choose Lundberg Organic White Basmati Rice from California, soak the rice overnight in (6 parts purified water to 1 part rice) before cooking [reduces Arsenic by 80%], then cook by boiling with 10x purified water to rice ratio (as the FDA suggests and they do traditionally in Asia), and then pouring off the excess water (like cooking pasta) [reduces Arsenic by another 50% = 90% total] ).
What I use to detox Roundup/Glyphosate:
* 1 tsp - 2 Tbsp Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in 6-12oz H2O, 1-3x/day (ACV contains a bacteria that breaks down glyphosate), rinse mouth/teeth afterwards to avoid acid breakdown of tooth enamel
* GlyphoX Supreme (detoxes + decreases liver cell death from glyphosate; order here)
* Restore (strengthens the tight junctions [the seals between cells] in our gut lining – the barrier protecting us from toxic substances like glyphosate [GMOs punch holes in intestines/tight junctions]; they now have a new and supposedly improved product called ION Biome, which I haven't tried)

Background on Glyphosate/Roundup and Chronic Health Problems, Microbiome, etc:
Excerpted from https://www.greatplainslaboratory.com/glyphosate-test/
Glyphosate is the world's most widely produced herbicide and is the primary toxic chemical in Roundup™, as well as in many other herbicides. In addition, it is a broad-spectrum herbicide that is used in more than 700 different products from agriculture and forestry to home use. Glyphosate was introduced in the 1970s to kill weeds by targeting the enzymes that produce the amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine. The enzymes of many bacteria are also susceptible to inhibition by this chemical, thus altering the flora of many animals.
Usage of glyphosate has since amplified, after the introduction of genetically modified (GMO) glyphosate-resistant crops that can grow well in the presence of this chemical in soil. In addition, toxicity of the surfactant commonly mixed with glyphosate, polyoxyethyleneamine (POEA), is greater than the toxicity of glyphosate alone (1). In addition, in 2014 Enlist Duo™, a herbicide product which contains a 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) salt and glyphosate, was approved for use in Canada and the U.S. for use on genetically modified soybeans and genetically modified maize, both of which were modified to be resistant to both 2,4-D and glyphosate. 2,4-D has many toxic effects of its own and can be measured in the GPL-TOX test.
Recent studies have discovered glyphosate exposure to be a cause of many chronic health problems. It can enter the body by direct absorption through the skin, by eating foods treated with glyphosate, or by drinking water contaminated with glyphosate.
A recent study(2) stated that a coherent body of evidence indicates that glyphosate could be toxic below the regulatory lowest observed adverse effect level for chronic toxic effects, and that it has teratogenic, tumorigenic and hepatorenal effects that can be explained by endocrine disruption and oxidative stress, causing metabolic alterations, depending on dose and exposure time.
The World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer published a summary in March 2015 that classified glyphosate as a probable carcinogen in humans (3). Possible cancers linked to glyphosate exposure include non-Hodgkin lymphoma, renal tubule carcinoma, pancreatic islet-cell adenoma, and skin tumors.
Studies have also indicated that glyphosate disrupts the microbiome in the intestine, causing a decrease in the ratio of beneficial to harmful bacteria (4). Thus, highly pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella entritidis, Salmonellagallinarum, Salmonella typhimurium, Clostridium perfringens, and Clostridium botulinum are highly resistant to glyphosate but most beneficial bacteria such as Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Bacillus badius, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, and Lactobacillus spp. were found to be moderately to highly susceptible.
The relationship between the microbiome of the intestine and overall human health is still unclear, but current research indicates that disruption of the microbiome could cause diseases such as metabolic disorder, diabetes, depression, autism, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disease.
Treatment of glyphosate toxicity should be centered on determining the route of introduction and avoiding future exposure. Eating non-GMO (genetically modified organism) foods and drinking reverse osmosis water are two of the best ways to avoid glyphosate.
A recent study showed that people eating organic food had considerably lower concentrations of glyphosate in the urine (2). Drinking extra water may also be beneficial since glyphosate is water soluble. More than 90% of corn and soy used are now of the GMO type. In addition, non-GMO wheat is commonly treated with glyphosate as a drying procedure. Glyphosate is somewhat volatile and a high percentage of rain samples contained glyphosate (2).
