Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: The core symptoms of ASDs are impairment of social interactions and communication, and restricted, repetitive behaviors and interests. Conduct disorder is defined by a relatively persistent pattern of multiple antisocial behaviors during childhood and adolescence. PTSD is a response to trauma that often involves recurring, distressing dreams related to the event. Although children with PTSD may withdraw from others and disengage from activities, they do not typically exhibit language delays. Core symptoms of ADHD fall into three categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Separation anxiety disorder involves a developmentally inappropriate and excessive anxiety over separation from home or from attachment figures and may appear after a stressful life event, such as the death of a pet. This child's dog may be viewed as an attachment figure, thus placing this child at risk for a separation anxiety disorder. Agoraphobia, the fear of being in public places, is not related to this situation. Risk factors for conduct disorder are related to difficulties with parent-child interactions. Children with elimination problems may have psychosocial risk factors. However, the child who experiences a significant family loss is at increased risk for separation anxiety disorder.
