Jimmy stimmed in public because his parents

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question suggests that Jimmy stimmed in public, which may be considered inappropriate behavior. However, the reason for this behavior is attributed to Jimmy's parents. The best answer is D because it suggests that Jimmy's parents may have disapproved of his behavior, but their disapproval was not strong enough to act as a punisher (i.e. a consequence that reduces the likelihood of the behavior occurring again in the future). As a result, Jimmy continued to engage in the behavior.
