Answer to Question 1

B
The main deficit in Asperger's syndrome is a consistent inability to regulate social interactions by responding to verbal and especially nonverbal cues. Children with this disorder may not seek out friendships, and during school age and adolescence, they may lack the ability to establish friendships, even when desired.

Answer to Question 2

D
Social anxiety disorder may be the most common phobia, with lifetime incidences of up to 14 of the population. It is a phobic disorder where a person experiences severe anxiety when under social stress, such as speaking or performing in public, meeting new people, taking tests, or similar situations.
