Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A child with disinhibited social engagement disorder will indiscriminately approach and interact with any person who is available, often lacking appropriate caution and selectivity. This is one of the core symptoms of the disorder. The other options are incorrect as forming attachments sequentially and never being able to form attachments are not characteristic of this disorder.
