The doctor might also classify David's characteristics as symptoms of "Fragile X" syndrome.

Fragile X syndrome is a hereditary condition that causes a scope of formative issues including learning handicaps and intellectual disability. Generally, men are more seriously influenced by this issue than women. Influenced people typically have deferred advancement of discourse and dialect by age two.
