Question 1

Many people with autism are preoccupied with inanimate objects and may ignore everything else for hours.This symptom of autistic behavior is known as

Accepted Answer

B

Question 2

People with generally avoid eye contact, show few facial expressions and bodily gestures, and fail to develop friendships.

Accepted Answer

These symptoms are commonly associated with autism spectrum disorder. People with autism may have difficulty with social interaction and communication, which can lead to avoiding eye contact, showing few facial expressions and bodily gestures, and difficulty developing friendships. Intellectual disability, mood disorders, and developmental delays may also impact socialization but do not necessarily present the same patterns of behavior as autism.

Question 3

A low score on an intelligence test a person has intellectual disability.

Accepted Answer

A low score on an intelligence test does not necessarily mean a person has an intellectual disability, as other factors such as adaptive functioning and developmental history are also considered in diagnosis.

Question 4

Intellectual delay, deficits in adaptive functioning, and onset before age 18 years must occur for a diagnosis of intellectual disability.

Accepted Answer

Intellectual disability requires all three criteria to be present together - intellectual delay, deficits in adaptive functioning, and onset before age 18 years.

Question 5

Some children become "stuck" in a particular area of development.These children may have because only one area but not many areas of functioning are affected.

Accepted Answer

Limited developmental disorders refer to developmental delays or difficulties that only affect one specific area of functioning, such as speech and language or motor skills. These disorders are also sometimes referred to as specific developmental disorders or developmental disabilities of the limited type. They are distinct from developmental and functional disorders, which refer to more comprehensive delays or impairments across multiple areas of functioning. Learning disorders of the specified type, on the other hand, specifically relate to academic skills and do not encompass broader areas of development.

Question 6

To be diagnosed with intellectual disability, a person must have

Accepted Answer

To be diagnosed with intellectual disability, all three criteria must be met: significantly subaverage intelligence, deficits or impairments in adaptive functioning, and onset of the disorder before age 18. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it includes all the required criteria for diagnosis.

Question 7

Jack has autism.When his mom wakes him in the morning, she always says, "Good morning, Jackie!" Jack then responds, "Good morning, Jackie!" In fact, he often "plays back" whatever was just said to him rather than actually responding.This communication pattern is known as

Accepted Answer

The communication pattern described is known as echolalia, which is a common characteristic of autism. Echolalia is the repetition of words or phrases that have been spoken to the individual, and it can be immediate (repeating right after hearing the words) or delayed (repeating later on).

Question 8

Youths with autism are sometimes aggressive and impulsive and fail to pay close attention to others.Youths with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have learning problems such as difficulty reading.These examples indicate that developmental and disruptive behavior disorders may be

Accepted Answer

Comorbidity refers to the presence of multiple conditions or disorders in the same individual. The examples given in the question suggest that developmental and disruptive behavior disorders often occur together, which is a form of comorbidity. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is B - comorbid.

Question 9

People with autism do not generally interact with others, preferring instead to be by themselves.This set of symptoms involves severe impairment in

Accepted Answer

The set of symptoms described in the statement points towards a severe impairment in social interaction, which is a core symptom of autism spectrum disorder. Options B and C are not relevant to the symptoms described, and there is no such term as "autistic interaction," which rules out option D.

Question 10

Which of the following is NOT one of the key categories of symptoms for diagnosing autism?

Accepted Answer

The key categories of symptoms for diagnosing autism are A) qualitative impairment in social interaction, B) qualitative impairment in communication, and D) restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interest, and activities. There is no category for qualitative impairment in adaptive skills.

Question 11

Children with a delay of normal development in many areas such as intellect and cognition, language, social interactions, and physical growth have a

Accepted Answer

Children with delays in multiple areas of development often have a pervasive developmental disorder, which is a type of neurodevelopmental disorder that affects many areas of functioning. The other answer choices do not accurately describe this type of disorder.

Question 12

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and conduct and oppositional defiant disorders are examples of

Accepted Answer

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and conduct and oppositional defiant disorders are classified as disruptive behavior disorders according to the DSM-5, which describes them as problems with emotional and behavioral self-regulation. These disorders can result in significant problems in social, academic, or occupational functioning.

Question 13

People with problems understanding the basic aspects of life are often diagnosed with a pervasive developmental disorder known as

Accepted Answer

The answer of People with problems understanding the basic aspects...

Question 14

Sandy repeats everything that she has just heard.She is displaying

Accepted Answer

Sandy is displaying echolalia, which is the repetition of words or phrases heard from others.

Question 15

Because Robert had delays that were evident in many areas and interfered with his ability to communicate with, and function independently of, others, he was diagnosed with a

Accepted Answer

The term "pervasive" refers to the fact that the delays or difficulties are present in multiple areas of development, such as social interaction, communication, and behavior. This would be the most appropriate diagnosis for someone who has delays that are evident in many areas and interfere with their ability to function independently. The other answer choices are not commonly used diagnostic terms.

Question 16

Grouping people with intellectual disability into categories of intermittent, limited, extensive, and pervasive is based upon

Accepted Answer

Grouping people with intellectual disability based on how much help they need in daily living is more accurate and relevant than using IQ scores, interaction skills or prognosis/diagnosis. This approach allows for a more individualized and person-centered approach to support and resources.

Question 17

Intellectual disability subtype categories include

Accepted Answer

The subtypes of intellectual disability are classified based on the severity of the disability. These subtypes include mild, moderate, severe, and profound categories. Other categories mentioned in B and C are not typically used to subtype intellectual disability. Therefore, D is incorrect as not all of the options are subtypes of intellectual disability.

Question 18

Disorders involving a delay in normal maturity, especially with respect to intellect, cognition, learning, and methods of self-care, are referred to as

Accepted Answer

Developmental disorders involve delays in normal maturity, including intellectual, cognitive, learning, and self-care abilities.

Question 19

Children with autism may exhibit a strange speech pattern that includes reversal of , such as "I" for "you."

Accepted Answer

Children with autism may exhibit a speech pattern known as pronoun reversal, in which they use pronouns incorrectly or invert them. For example, they may use "you" instead of "I," "he" instead of "she," or refer to themselves in the third person.

Question 20

Which of the following is NOT a key diagnostic aspect for intellectual disability?

Accepted Answer

While features of autism may co-occur with intellectual disability, they are not a key diagnostic aspect for intellectual disability. The three primary criteria for diagnosing intellectual disability are onset before age 18 years, deficits in adaptive functioning, and poor cognitive development.
