Seamus is very talented at drawing and obsessive about details when drawing pictures. His speech is close to normal, but he tends to shy away from other children and is awkward when trying to relate to others. Which diagnosis would BEST fit Seamus's behavior

A. Compulsive disorder
B. Asperger's syndrome
C. Dyslexia
D. ADHD

Answer 1

The answer is B. Asperger's syndrome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Asperger's syndrome is often described as a mild manifestation of autism. A person with this syndrome usually engages in repetitive behaviours, and has difficulty taking part in social interaction. Unlike autism, people with Asperger's have a nearly normal speech and intelligence.

This condition does not require diagnosis and usually lasts for a lifetime.
