Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Neurocognitive and Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Introduction

The case under analysis concerns an adult by the name Harold who works in a large architectural engineering firm and complains of a decrease in his level of concentration. Although paying attention and concentrating has always been a problem to him even in his school years, he managed to get to adulthood, but recently the situation has worsened and it started after the supervisor tightened the deadlines that Harold and his colleagues are expected to deliver their assigned tasks. Since then, Harold has been having challenges concentrating due to the immense pressure placed by the deadlines and seems to have lost his level of concentration even on the small tasks that he is assigned; for instance, the case of gutters, where he designed and was required to place them, but upon reaching the work site, he notices that the tiles are Italian and are not aligned, although there were some people assigned to work on the tiles, he started to study them.
