Distinguishing between ASD and other diagnoses can be ...
Clinical features of GRIN-related disorders typically include intellectual disability and epilepsy along with other neurological and/or neuropsychiatric features, such as movement disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and problems with muscle tone. [1]
Various websites contain various diagnostic criteria. At least three of the following categories should be present.
