Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

Treatment for autism is mainly based on learning principles. Behavior modification is used to try to stop self-injurious behaviors. Brief electric shocks may be used, though this raises ethical concerns. Behavior modification is also used to teach new behaviors. Many autistic children can be taught to accept people and their praise as reinforcers, rather than food treats. Praise can be used to teach speech and social play. The most effective treatment programs are individualized for the child. Sometimes drugs may be used, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibiters that are used to treat depression. Some anti-schizophrenic drugs may also be used. Drugs are used to prevent self-injury, aggressive outbursts, anxiety, depression, hyperactivity, and to help stop stereotypical behaviors. Autistic behavior generally persists into adulthood, but some people with autism go to college and can learn to function independently.
