Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ahmed's difficulties with both spoken and written language suggest a more global language impairment, rather than just issues with social communication or stuttering. Childhood onset fluency disorder primarily affects the fluency of speech, while speech sound disorder primarily affects the production of specific sounds. Therefore, D (language disorder) is the best choice for Ahmed's diagnosis.
