Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seamus's talent in drawing and obsession with details are common characteristics in individuals with Asperger syndrome. Additionally, his difficulty in social interaction is also a common symptom of this neurodevelopmental disorder. Compulsive disorder and ADHD do not fully capture the range of symptoms exhibited by Seamus. Dyslexia, on the other hand, is a learning disorder and does not have a direct connection to the symptoms described.
