Read the case study and answer the question (Q. $\displaystyle 33$ – $\displaystyle 34$) that follows :

Mohsin, a $\displaystyle 6$-year-old boy, has difficulty in feeding and dressing himself, but training from his parents has helped him to be a little independent. He faces trouble making friends outside his family and has difficulty in dealing with people in social situations. His parents are always worried about him and are aware that he needs consistent level of supervision in daily tasks. Mohsin’s brother understands his needs and what he says but it is difficult for his peers to understand him as he lags behind them in communication and language skills.

Throughout Mohsin’s journey, psychologists and health workers focused on engaging his family in meaningful future planning using a variety of strategies and resources. This included offering them ongoing and timely information and assisting the family to understand and connect to resources.

Identify the disorder Mohsin is exhibiting. Distinguish it from autism spectrum disorder.
