Well, it's kind of common knowledge personality disorders do not develop in children, because their personalities are still developing. Further, the difficulty in dealing with adults with personality disorders has made getting research and treatment really hard. Finally, these folks do not seek mental health treatment, and when they do, they are difficult to treat, because they do not accept they have a disorder. Attacking the problem of personality disorders seem best addressed before they fully develolp.
If you want a cite, just go google any particular personality disorder and read about it, then read a few studies on another, etc. There is not one source, it's a combination of sources.
