Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Stimulants that decrease the hyperactivity in the autistic child also impair cognition and may increase the potential of self-injuring behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The psychiatrist is a medical doctor; the psychoanalyst may be a medical doctor or a psychologist. The psychologist is not a medical doctor, and neither is the counselor.
