Aside from autism spectrum disorder, what other disorders of childhood and adolescence do Hao’s symptoms possibly represent?

What will be an ideal response?


While ASP is distinct from the disruptive behavioral disorders, there is some overlap among their symptoms. Hao might be considered for a diagnosis of oppositional defiant disorder in that he seems to ignore instructions from adult authority figures (his parents and teacher). He also could be considered for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in that he seems to have difficulty at times with his attention span, concentration ability, and activity level.
