Mrs. Jones has noticed that kindergartner David is very bright, but he lacks language skills and has a hard time making friends. He rarely makes eye contact and doesn’t show much emotion. She assumes that he is just shy. Which of the following might explain David’s symptoms?

High-functioning autism
Visual deficit
Prader-Willi syndrome
Shyness
