4. The child’s diaper shows signs of having been urinated in.
5. The child cries when left in the care of someone other than the child’s mother.
6. The child uses crayons or markers to create meaningless, jagged scribbles.
7. The child has difficulty enunciating properly.
8. The child walks with difficulty, or not at all.
9. The child holds books upside down.
10. The child does not protest when clad in a pair of Crocs.
