Subtopics include intellectual developmental disorder, language disorder, speech sound disorder, childhood-onset fluency disorder, social communication disorder, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, specific learning disorder, developmental coordination disorder, stereotypic movement disorder, Tourette disorder, persistent motor or vocal tic disorder, and provisional tic disorder., so I spent my final two weeks targeting those areas.
