The disturbance interferes with educational or occupational achievement or with social communication. The duration of the disturbance is at least 1 month (not limited to the first month of school). The difficulty speaking is not due to a lack of knowledge of or comfort with the language someone is speaking. The difficulty speaking is more likely due to another condition, such as a communication disorder.
