The most common symptom is unusual interaction with strangers. A child with DSED shows no sign of fear or discomfort when talking to, touching, or accompanying an adult stranger. They can be categorized by the following: * Overly familiar verbal or physical behavior that is not consistent with culturally sanctioned and appropriate<unk>  boundaries or seems out of character for their current age * Lack of reservation when it comes to approaching and interacting with unfamiliar adults * Diminished or absent checking back with an adult caregiver after venturing away, even in unfamiliar settings * Willingness to go off with an unfamiliar adult with minimal or no hesitation The attachment style associated with DSED is disorganized attachment. This attachment style is a combination of anxious and avoidant attachment and participants often have a need for closeness, fear of rejection, and contradictory mental states and behaviors. Disorganized Attachment is common amongst children living in institutions such as foster care. Children living in these institutions have an increased risk of suffering from DSED. Which is common in those who experience neglect from caregivers at an early age making it a common occurrence in children suffering from DSED. DSED can cause symptoms commonly associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) It can be comorbid with cognitive, language and speech delay. Additionally, children who are<unk> ly<unk>  despite not undergoing the trauma to become so should not be diagnosed with DSED. The child’s behavior can be explained with other disorders such as Williams syndrome which often has similar symptoms to DSED.
