Autistic spectrum disorder as classified under the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) " That's the standard for most professionals world wide to diagnose things like Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder,
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and some Learning Difficulties.
