Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described in the question (struggling to build and maintain friendships, communicate, and manage change) are characteristic of individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

Hearing and vision impairments would not typically impact social interactions and change management in the same way.
