What developmental delay is usually not observed in students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Physical growth
Language acquisition
Social interaction skills
Emotional responsiveness

The correct answer is: Physical growth

Students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) typically exhibit delays in language acquisition, social interaction skills, and emotional responsiveness. However, physical growth is generally not considered a developmental delay associated with ASD. Children with ASD often show typical physical growth patterns, including height and weight, following their individual growth trajectories. The challenges they face are primarily in behavioral, communicative, and social domains rather than in physical development. This understanding is essential as it helps distinguish between various developmental challenges children may encounter, ensuring that interventions and supports are appropriately tailored to the specific areas of need for individuals on the autism spectrum.
