Speech and Language: Difficulty producing sounds, forming words, or understanding language.
Cognitive Skills: Challenges with problem-solving, memory, and learning new concepts.
Social Skills: Difficulty interacting with others, understanding social cues, and developing appropriate social behaviors.
Other potential symptoms: Poor muscle tone, difficulty with self-care tasks, and challenges in adapting to new situations.
