Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Parents of children with autism report more family problems, more marital problems, more depression, and more social isolation than parents of typically developing children or parents of children who are severely and persistently mentally ill. Family therapy will help them face reality through the problem-solving process. The other responses are important interventions for the child but are not the goal of family therapy.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Autism spectrum disorders involve difficulties in the quality of both the social interaction and the communication of the child. In social interaction, the child may have problems making eye contact, fail to develop appropriate peer relationships, fail to spontaneously seek out shared enjoyment with other people, or show no social or emotional reciprocity. Children with spectrum disorders may or may not be able to acknowledge the effects of their behavior on others, stay on task, or acknowledge personal strengths.
