I think there are precedents.

It happens because there is so much overlap in most patients, and symptoms tend to occur in clusters.

General delays in motor skills and language skills are quite prevalent in many conditions. If you google videos of kids with autism, you will see varied abilities.

I am hesitant to go into more detail because this is an area that causes a great deal of anxiety for parents and discussions are often sensitive. One surefire way to annoy a parent and get into an argument is to claim their kid does or does not have a condition that differs from their own opinion. (And I can see why it would bother them).
