Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children with autism can have sensory processing difficulties, which can lead to either over- or under-sensitivity to external stimuli. This can manifest in various ways, such as being bothered by certain textures, sounds or smells, or being oblivious to loud noises or other people’s emotions. Therefore, statement C is the only true statement out of the given options. Statements A and B are false, as children with autism can have perceptual deficits and may struggle with fine motor skills. Statement D is also false, as brain ventricle size has not consistently been found to be smaller in all individuals with autism.
