A mother has presented with her 2 year old child. she states that the child was talking in earlier months but recently has "kind of withdrawn." the child does not interact with other children or adults much but does enjoy throwing a ball, retrieving it and throwing it again. the nurse realizes that the child needs further assessment for which disorder

Respuesta :

The nurse should look for “Autism”.

Playing alone and less interaction with others are common side effects identified with autism. There are not pointers of learning issues with the youngster at the present time and no tics are being accounted for. Hyperactivity isn't noted in the child which would demonstrate a hyperactivity disorder.
