Consistent with [Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder] [specifier(s)]. Since early childhood, there have been behaviours marked by reduced or absent reticence with unfamiliar adults; overly familiar verbal or physical interaction; diminished or absent checking back with caregivers after venturing away; willingness to go off with unfamiliar adults, forming a pattern meeting the threshold for developmentally inappropriate, disinhibited social behaviour. The presentation is further characterised by a history of extreme insufficient care, including social neglect; lack of basic emotional needs; repeated changes of primary caregivers; rearing in atypical or deprived settings. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant impairment in social functioning, with the child having a developmental age of at least nine months, and the disturbance not better explained by Autism Spectrum Disorder or another psychiatric or medical condition.
