Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While research has suggested that neurobiological factors are likely involved in the development of autistic disorder, much more research is needed to pinpoint exactly which factors and mechanisms are involved. Therefore, title B is the most accurate representation of the current state of knowledge. Titles A, C, and D are all too specific or narrow in their focus and do not accurately represent the overall state of knowledge on the causes of autistic disorder.
