Question

Vinicius, age 4, does not approach others in his class. When other students ask him to play, Vinicius might nod his head, but he does not join in play or converse with the other children. He seems preoccupied with rubbing circular patterns on the wall and on his desk. Which disorder is MOST consistent with Vinicius's behavior?

Answer 1

The disorder that this child could have is TGD or even autism.

Step-by-step explanation:

TGD stands for Generalized Developmental Disorders (TGD) which include a group of disorders that affect the growth of children during the first years of life. It is a set of alterations characterized by delays in different areas of development, such as communication skills and social interaction that in turn affect children's activities, interests and behaviors. However, although these disorders continue in childhood, their disorders will continue until adulthood.

And as for autism, (which I think is the most accurate) it means the following:

the variety and severity of symptoms can vary greatly. The most common symptoms are difficulty communicating, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interests, and repetitive behaviors.

Early diagnosis and behavioral, educational, and family therapy can reduce symptoms and provide support for development and learning.

Autism spectrum disorder affects the nervous system.

Answer 2
