Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Rocking is hypothesized as being a form of self-stimulation. The child with autism will engage in constant body rocking. Because the child likes to perform body rocking before going to sleep and not constantly, it is more likely being used by the child as a form of self-stimulation. Rocking does not mean that the child is hungry. Rocking is not only seen in autism. The mother did not express concern that the child is banging the head on the crib while rocking so padding the crib might not be appropriate at this time.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Encopresis is the inappropriate passage of stool in places not culturally appropriate for that purpose. Parents should not punish the child for encopresis but rather to pay as little attention as possible to bowel accidents and to give praise for days when encopresis does not occur. The child does not need Kaopectate every day. The child does not need to be close to bathroom facilities at all times. The child does not experience diarrhea soiling after accidents would not be of a high priority for teaching.
