Vinicius, age 4, does not approach others in his class. When other students ask him to play, Vinicius might nod his head, but he does not join in play or converse with the other children. He seems preoccupied with rubbing circular patterns on the wall and on his desk. Which disorder is MOST consistent with Vinicius's behavior?

Disorder MOST consistent with Vinicius's behavior is Autism Spectrum disorder

Explanation:A child with autism usually prefer their own space since they seem to find it difficult to catch up with everyone else because autism causes them to have slow development than their other peers.Autism spectrum disorder is due to an effect on brain development which affect how a child perceives and socialize with their peers because they find it hard to interact and communicate

The disorder that this child could have is TGD  or even autism.

Explanation:

TGD stands for Generalized Developmental Disorders (TGD) which include a group of disorders that affect the growth of children during the first years of life. It is a set of alterations characterized by delays in different areas of development, such as communication skills and social interaction that in turn affect children's activities, interests and behaviors. However, although these disorders continue in childhood, their disorders will continue until adulthood.

And as for autism, (which I think is the most accurate) it means the following:

the variety and severity of symptoms can vary greatly. The most common symptoms are difficulty communicating, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interests, and repetitive behaviors.

Early diagnosis and behavioral, educational, and family therapy can reduce symptoms and provide support for development and learning.

Autism spectrum disorder affects the nervous system.
